A farmer has three different crops on his farm; cabbage, carrots, and parsnips, where 10 percent of the crops are cabbage and 35 percent are carrots. If the farm produces 650 pounds of parsnips, and the weight of all crops are evenly distributed, how many pounds of crops are produced in total?  Choose the correct choice from the following answers.
A) 6,500 pounds  B) 2,000 pounds  C) 10 pounds  D) 1,000 pounds  E) 100 pounds
Let the total pounds of crops be x   % of cabbage = 10%   % of carrots = 35%   % of parsnips = 100% - 45% = 65%   But this number is given as 500 pounds   so 65% of x = 650 and x = (650)(100/65)   x = 1,000   Therefore there a total of 1,000 pounds of crops.   Correct answer - 1,000 pounds
