You planted 460 acres in soybeans that was in corn last year. You treated the acreage with an herbicide using 2.4 pints per acre. The herbicide sells for $101 per 2½-gallon container. You applied 0-50-85 units of fertilizer per acre. You used 46-0-0 urea at $415 per ton, 18-46-0 DAP at $504 per ton, and 0-0-60 muriate of potash at $510 per ton. You planted 65 pounds of soybeans per acre at $35 per 50-pound bag. You made 3 trips across the field using an average of 0.9 gallon of fuel per trip per acre. Fuel sells for $2.89 per gallon. How much did it cost to plant the 460 acres of soybeans using only the operations given?

Question
You planted 460 acres in soybeans that was in corn last year. You
treated the acreage with an herbicide using 2.4 pints per acre. The
herbicide sells for $101 per 2½-gallon container. You applied
0-50-85 units of fertilizer per acre. You used 46-0-0 urea at $415
per ton, 18-46-0 DAP at $504 per ton, and 0-0-60 muriate of potash
at $510 per ton. You planted 65 pounds of soybeans per acre at
$35 per 50-pound bag. You made 3 trips across the field using an
average of 0.9 gallon of fuel per trip per acre. Fuel sells for $2.89
per gallon. How much did it cost to plant the 460 acres of soybeans
using only the operations given?
