Owen bought 4
k containers of pomegranates. Each container had 25 pomegranates. He gave away 65 pomegranates to his buddy.
- How many pomegranates had he left?
- If he sold the rest at 42¢ each and k = 8, how much money did he receive from the pomegranates sold? Give your answer in dollars.
(a)
Total number of pomegranates
= 25 x 4
k = 100
k Number of pomegranates left
= 100
k - 65
(b)
Total pomegranates left
= 100
k - 65
= (100 x 8) - 65
= 800 - 65
= 735
Total amount received from the sale
= 735 x 42
= 30870¢
$1 = 100¢
30870¢ = 30870 ÷ 100 = $308.70
Answer(s): (a) 100
k - 65; (b) $308.70
