26500 - 20000 = $6500

Each acre is $50, which means that in order to find the number of acres received is, 6500 ÷ 50 = 130.

Which means that the acres received are 130.

She received 130 acres.

What is Unitary Method?

It is a method where we find the value of a single unit from the value of multiple units and the value of multiple units from the value of a single unit.

For example,

if 1 packet of juice costs $5, then what would the cost of 5 such packets be?

Then we can easily find that the cost of 5 packets, i.e. $25.

  • Step 1: Let’s find the cost of 1 ice cream. In order to do that, divide the total cost of ice-creams by the total number of ice-creams. The cost of 1 ice-cream = Total cost of ice-creams/Total number of ice-creams = 125/5 = 25. Therefore, the cost of 1 ice cream is $25.
  • Step 2: To find the cost of 3 ice-creams, multiply the cost of 1 ice cream by the number of ice-creams. The cost of 3 ice-creams is cost of 1 ice-cream × number of ice-creams = 25 × 3 = $75. Finally, we have the cost of 3 ice-creams i.e. $75.

This may seem hard to calculate! However, we can solve this problem using the unitary method.

Given:

Selling price = 26500

Amount paid= 20,000

So, amount remaining to be paid

=26500 - 20000

= $6500

Now, Each acre is $50, number of acres received is,

=6500 ÷ 50

= 130.
