Lizzy: A farmer harvested 250 potatoes. He bundled them in twenty-five's and sold each bundle for $1.90. He also harvested 320 carrots and bundled them in twenty's and sold each bundle for $2. If the farmer sold all his harvested crops, how much did he get in all?.
Me: Hmmm, let me think. I think this is the detailed solution:
There are 250 / 25 = 10 bundles of potatoes. So, 20 bundles of potatoes amount to $1.9 x 10 = $19. There are 320 / 20 = 16 bundles of carrots. So, 16 bundles of carrots amount to $2 x 16 = $32. Hence, the farmer got $19 + $32 = $51 in all. Final answer: 51.
