Solution

To find out how much Matthew will earn from his field, you need to multiply the number of bushels of wheat by the price per bushel.

Step 1: Identify the number of bushels and the price per bushel. In this case, Matthew has 66.8 bushels of wheat and the price per bushel is $5.40.

Step 2: Multiply the number of bushels by the price per bushel.

66.8 bushels * 5.40/bushel=5.40/bushel = 360.72

So, Matthew will earn $360.72 from this field.
