- Baling Hay In the first two trips baling hay around a large field, a farmer obtains 123 bales and 112 bales, respectively. Each round gets shorter, so the farmer estimates that the same pattern will continue. Estimate the total number of bales made after the farmer takes another six trips around the field.arrow_forwardRenting Paddleboats An enterprise rents out paddleboats for all-day use on a lake. The owner knows that he can rent out all 27 of his paddleboats if he chargers 1 for each rental. He also knows that he can rent out only 26 if he chargers 2 for each rental and that, in general, there will be 1 less paddleboat rental for each extra dollar that he charges per rental. a. What would the owners total revenue be if he charged 3 for each paddleboat rental? b. Use a formula to express the number of rentals as a function of the amount charged for each rental. c. Use a formula to express the total revenues as a function of the amount charged for each rental. d. How much should the owner charge to get the largest total revenue?arrow_forward
