The total number of bushels the farmer has for sale at the farmers market is 9.75 bushels.

The given parameters;

  • total number of the bushel available, t = 120
  • average number sold in 1 day = [tex]15\frac{3}{4} = \frac{63}{4}[/tex]

The actual amount of the bushel sold in per day;

[tex]= \frac{15.75}{1 \ day}[/tex]

After 7 days the amount of the bushel sold is calculated as;

[tex]= \frac{15.75}{1 \ day} \times 7\ days= 110.25 \ bushels[/tex]

The amount of the bushel left after the 7 days;

[tex]= 120 - 110.25\\\\= 9.75 \ bushels[/tex]

Thus, the total number of bushels the farmer has for sale at the farmers market is 9.75 bushels.
