A farmer has 160 bushels of apples for sale at a farmers market .he sells an average of 15 1/4 bushels each day .After 7 days ,what is the change in the total number of bushels he has for sale at the farmers market. Please help me work this out I dont understand how to work this out thanks
the change is how many he sold: 15.25 * 7
and it is negative, since he now has fewer bushels left.
the response above gives you the number he has left, not the change.

To work out the change in the total number of bushels the farmer has for sale at the farmers market after 7 days, we need to find the difference between the initial number of bushels and the number of bushels sold.
1. Calculate the number of bushels sold each day by finding the average daily sales:
15 1/4 bushels = 15 + 1/4 = 60/4 + 1/4 = 61/4 = 15.25 bushels per day.
2. Multiply the average daily sales by the number of days to find the total number of bushels sold after 7 days:
15.25 bushels/day x 7 days = 106.75 bushels.
3. Subtract the total number of bushels sold from the initial number of bushels to find the change:
160 bushels - 106.75 bushels = 53.25 bushels.
Therefore, the change in the total number of bushels the farmer has for sale at the farmers market after 7 days is 53.25 bushels.
