By rounding the size of the land to 400 x 600, the land size is approximately 240,000 square feet. That is approximately 5 times 43,000 square feet. So the best answer is definitely E, as the other possible choices are too high.

The first step is to figure out the total number of acres that the farmer wants to rent.
Since we are given that the farmland is a rectangular plot, the area must be 360*605.
The total number of acres is \(\frac{360*605}{43560} = \frac{36*605}{4356} = \frac{605}{121} = 5\)
Therefore, the cost that the farmer pays in a month is \(5*$30 = $150\)(Option E)
