A farmer gets 20 pounds of bacon on average from a pig. He sells each pound for $6 at the monthly farmer’s market. This month’s pig is a runt that grew to only half the size of the average pig. How many dollars will the farmer make from the pig’s bacon? Let's be accurate as possible.
The pig grew to half the size of the average pig, so it will produce 20 / 2 = 10 pounds of bacon. The rancher will make 10 * 6 = $60 from the pig’s bacon.
The answer: 60.
