Nathan planted 5 strawberry plants and 7 tomato plants. He harvested 14 strawberries from each plant and 16 tomatoes from each plant. He then distributed the strawberries and tomatoes into baskets of 7. He sold a basket of strawberries for $9 and a basket of tomatoes for $6. How much money does Nathan make from his harvest?

Nathan harvested a total of 5 x 14 = 70 strawberries. He harvested a total of 7 x 16 = 112 tomatoes. He was able to fill 70 / 7 = 10 baskets with strawberries. He was able to fill 112 / 7 = 16 baskets with tomatoes. He made 10 x $9 = $90 from the strawberries. He made 16 x $ 6 = $96 from the tomatoes. All together, he made $90 + $96 = $186 from his harvest.
Thus, the answer is 186.
