max and orlena bought 23 acres of land for $110,400. they bought some of the acres at $4000 per acre and some at $6300 per acre. how many acres did they buy at each price?



Answer :

They bought  15 acres at $ 4000 per acre and  8 acres at  $6300 per acre

Let,

They bought x acres at $ 4000

and ( 23-x ) acres at $ 6300

From information,

By using algebra,

4000x + 6300(23-x) = 110,400

4000x - 6300x+ 144900 = 110,400

-2300x = 110,400-144900

- 2300x  = - 34500

x =34500 /2300

x = 15

x = 15

They bought 15 acres at $ 4000 per acre

(23 - 15 ) = 8 acres at  $6300 per acre

Hence, they purchased 8 acres for $6300 per acre and 15 acres for $4,000 each.
