Question

Two parcels of land priced at $2,100 per acre were purchased. One parcel was 5 acres in size, and the other was 1 square mile in size. How much should these two parcels have cost together?

Answer 1

Answer:

Sold together, both parcels would have cost $ 1,354,500.

Explanation:

Given that two parcels of land priced at $ 2,100 per acre were purchased, one parcel was 5 acres in size, and the other was 1 square mile in size, to determine how much should these two parcels have cost together the following calculation must be performed:

1 square mile = 640 acres

2100 x 5 + 2100 x 640 = X

10,500 + 1,344,000 = X

1,354,500 = X

Therefore, sold together, both parcels would have cost $ 1,354,500.
