Jack bought 9
i containers of persimmons. Each container had 25 persimmons. He gave away 62 persimmons to his uncle.
- How many persimmons had he left?
- If he sold the rest at 40¢ each and i = 8, how much money did he receive from the persimmons sold? Give your answer in dollars.
(a)
Total number of persimmons
= 25 x 9
i = 225
i Number of persimmons left
= 225
i - 62
(b)
Total persimmons left
= 225
i - 62
= (225 x 8) - 62
= 1800 - 62
= 1738
Total amount received from the sale
= 1738 x 40
= 69520¢
$1 = 100¢
69520¢ = 69520 ÷ 100 = $695.20
Answer(s): (a) 225
i - 62; (b) $695.20
