John bought 8
d boxes of starfruits. Each box had 25 starfruits. He gave away 70 starfruits to his buddy.
- How many starfruits had he left?
- If he sold the rest at 46¢ each and d = 8, how much money did he receive from the starfruits sold? Give your answer in dollars.
(a)
Total number of starfruits
= 25 x 8
d = 200
d Number of starfruits left
= 200
d - 70
(b)
Total starfruits left
= 200
d - 70
= (200 x 8) - 70
= 1600 - 70
= 1530
Total amount received from the sale
= 1530 x 46
= 70380¢
$1 = 100¢
70380¢ = 70380 ÷ 100 = $703.80
Answer(s): (a) 200
d - 70; (b) $703.80
