You can put this solution on YOUR website! he makes $4,983 per bale
"Makes" should mean "profit" not "sold for"
Is six bales all the corn produced?
Very poorly written problem.
if "makes" means "sold for" and 6 bales is the total production then
B. P= 4,983 * 6 - 25,000
29898- 25,000 =$4,898
$4,898 is the profit.
