- If he sold the rest at 40¢ each and i = 8, how much money did he receive from the dragonfruits sold? Give your answer in dollars.
(a)
Total number of dragonfruits
= 23 x 4
i = 92
i Number of dragonfruits left
= 92
i - 75
(b)
Total dragonfruits left
= 92
i - 75
= (92 x 8) - 75
= 736 - 75
= 661
Total amount received from the sale
= 661 x 40
= 26440¢
$1 = 100¢
26440¢ = 26440 ÷ 100 = $264.40
Answer(s): (a) 92
i - 75; (b) $264.40
