1,250 acres of land. It costs $45 per acre to grow corn, $60 to grow wheat, and $50 to grow soybeans.

Question

Because of market demand the farmer will grow twice as many acres of wheat as of corn. He has allocated $66,400 for the cost of growing his crops. How many acres of each crop should he plant?

Answer 1

c represents the acres of corn

2c represents the acres of wheat

1250 - 3c represents the acres of soybeans

45c + 65(2c) + 50(1250 - 3c) = 66400

Can you solve for c and answer?
