A farmer has 180 bushels of apples for sale at a​ farmer's market. He sells an average of 15 3/4 bushels each day. After 6 ​days, what is the change in the total number of bushels the farmer has for sale at the​ farmer's market?

If the farmer sells an average of 16 3/4 bushels each day, then after 6 days the farmer would have sold

16 3/4 * 6

We can rewrite the mixed number 16 3/4 as an improper fraction for easier multiplication

16 3/4 = 67/4, so

16 3/4 * 6 = 67/4 * 6

67/4 * 6 = 67/4 * 6/1 = 402/4 = 100 2/4 = 100 1/2 bushels sold after 6 days

If the farmer began with 180 bushels, then after 6 days the farmer has

180 - 100 1/2 = 79 1/2 bushels
