Question 936007: Sue owns a large plot of land with area A acres valued at v dollars per acre. She subdivides the land into n plots of equal area and sells each of them at value for
a price P.
Write an equation representing the relationship among A, n, P, and v.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
total area = A acres
rate = v dollars per acres
total value of entire land = A*v
= Av dollars
she divides the land into n equal parts
.
she sold each part at a price P
total cost of all parts = n*P
total cost in both occasions is same
hence Av =n*P
Result : Av = nP
