A farmer sold 17 bushels of barley, and 13 bushels of wheat, for $31.55 ;
\n" ); document.write( " he received for the wheat 35 cents a bushel more than for the barley ;
\n" ); document.write( " what was the price of each per bushel ?
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = amt received for barley
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "(x+.35) = amt received for wheat
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "17x + 13(x+.35) = 31.55
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "17x + 13x + 4.55 = 31.55
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "30x = 31.55 - 4.55
\n" ); document.write( "x = \"27%2F30\"
\n" ); document.write( "x = $.90 received for barley
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( ".90 + .35 = $1.25 received for Wheat
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "You can check the solution on a calc
\n" ); document.write( ".9(17) + 1.25(13) = \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
