Glen bought 10
w containers of starfruits. Each container had 21 starfruits. He gave away 71 starfruits to his buddy.
- How many starfruits had he left?
- If he sold the rest at 40¢ each and w = 8, how much money did he receive from the starfruits sold? Give your answer in dollars.
(a)
Total number of starfruits
= 21 x 10
w = 210
w Number of starfruits left
= 210
w - 71
(b)
Total starfruits left
= 210
w - 71
= (210 x 8) - 71
= 1680 - 71
= 1609
Total amount received from the sale
= 1609 x 40
= 64360¢
$1 = 100¢
64360¢ = 64360 ÷ 100 = $643.60
Answer(s): (a) 210
w - 71; (b) $643.60
