Answer:

$900.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x denote the worth of the apple bushels.

It is stated that after one third of the apple crop was sold, the rest was sold at a consistent price of $600 per bushel.

Given that the farmer has sold 1/3 of the crop, 2/3 remains.

We can represent this relationship with an equation:

$\frac{2}{3}x=600$

Now, let's solve for x.

$\frac{3}{2}*\frac{2}{3}x=\frac{3}{2}*600$

$x=3*300$

$x=900$

Thus, the crop's value totals $900.

If you begin with 300 and sell a third of it, then 2/3 remains. Each portion can be seen as 300.
