Solution
He is interested in a rectangular piece of land that is 1500 yards long and 300 yards wide.
that means, 1500*3=4500ft and 300*3=900ft
area= 4500*900=4050000ft^2= 4050000/43560=92.97 acre=93 acre
The piece of land is being sold as one complete unit for $87,000
So, 87000/93= $935.48 per acre
No, the amount of the land satisfied what ne needs, but the price is too large
