A farmer has #20000 to spend on cattle. he wants to buy a calves each calves cost 18500 check by approximation, that the farmer has enough money. find accurately how much change he will get after buying the calves.
HUH? 18 is more than half of 20 so
just one with 20,000 - 18,500 = 1,500 change back
I don't know the answer pls answer me
To check if the farmer has enough money to buy the calves, we can divide the total amount he has (#20000) by the price of each calf (18500).
Approximation:
#20000 / 18500 ≈ 1.08
Since the answer is above 1, it means the farmer can afford to buy at least one calf.
To find the exact number of calves the farmer can buy, we divide the total amount by the price of each calf:
#20000 ÷ 18500 = 1.08
So, the farmer can buy only one calf with #20000.
Now, to find the change he will receive, we subtract the price of the calf from the total amount:
#20000 - 18500 = #1500
The farmer will get #1500 as change after buying the calf.
