Last year, Jorge planted corn on all of his 60 acres of property. Typically, corn grown on good soil yields 400 bushels per acre, but in clay-rich soil, the yield is only half as much per acre as in good soil. One-third of Jorge's 60 acres of land is clay-rich soil and the rest is good soil. How many bushels of corn did Jorge's land yield last year? Give me reasons, before answering the question
Jorge has 60 * (1 / 3) = 20 acres of clay - rich soil. He has 60 - 20 = 40 acres of good soil. At 400 bushels per acre, his 40 acres of good soil produced 40 * 400 = 16,000 bushels of corn. If good soil produces 400 bushels per acre, clay - rich soil produces 400 / 2 = 200 bushels per acre. At 200 bushels per acre, his 20 acres of clay - rich soil produced 20 * 200 = 4,000 bushels of corn. Altogether, his land produced 16,000 + 4,000 = 20,000 bushels of corn. So the final answer is 20000.
