    666.4 dollars per day

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Total milk farmer has is 490 gallons

    He keeps 1/35 of 490 gallons

    so he keeps = 1/35*490 = 14 gallons

    He sells remaining milk.

    Remaining milk = 490-14 = 476 gallons

    1 gallon = 4 quart (conversion formula)

    so 476 gallon = 4 * 476 = 1904 quart

    selling price of 1 quart = 35 cents = 0.35 dollars

    so selling price of 1904 quart = 0.35*1904 = 666.4 dollars

    So he makes 666.4 dollars per day.
