Why do you say that 3 is wrong?
I entered it in the text box and i got a popup saying it was wrong

Sometimes answer keys are wrong.
To find the value of one bushel of corn, we need to divide the total value of the corn ($11,700) by the total number of bushels produced.
First, we need to determine the total number of bushels produced. We are given that each acre yields 65 bushels, and Old MacDonald planted 60 acres of corn. So, the total number of bushels produced is 65 bushels/acre * 60 acres = 3900 bushels.
Now, we can find the value of one bushel by dividing the total value of the corn ($11,700) by the total number of bushels (3900 bushels).
Value of one bushel = Total value of corn / Total number of bushels
= $11,700 / 3900 bushels
= $3 per bushel.
Therefore, the value of one bushel of corn is $3.
