Question 805612
Let {{{ x }}} = the cost per bushel of corn
{{{ 30*8 + 70x = 4.85*100 }}}
{{{ 240 + 70x = 485 }}}
{{{ 70x = 245 }}}
{{{ x = 3.5 }}}
He can afford to pay $3.50 for each bushel of corn
check:
{{{ 30*8 + 70x = 4.85*100 }}}
{{{ 240 + 70*3.5 = 485 }}}
{{{ 240 + 245 = 485 }}}
{{{ 485 = 485 }}}
OK
