A farm technician recommended that a farmer apply 9 bags ammonium sulfate (21-0-0), 6 bags superphosphate (0-20-0) and 1 bag muriate of potash to one hectare. However, the available fertilizer at the store were complete fertilizer (14-14-14) ammophos (16-20-0) and ammonium sulfate. How many bags of each of these should the farmer use?
