Archie bought 5
p boxes of pomegranates. Each box had 20 pomegranates. He gave away 67 pomegranates to his auntie.
- How many pomegranates had he left?
- If he sold the rest at 50¢ each and p = 8, how much money did he receive from the pomegranates sold? Give your answer in dollars.
(a)
Total number of pomegranates
= 20 x 5
p = 100
p Number of pomegranates left
= 100
p - 67
(b)
Total pomegranates left
= 100
p - 67
= (100 x 8) - 67
= 800 - 67
= 733
Total amount received from the sale
= 733 x 50
= 36650¢
$1 = 100¢
36650¢ = 36650 ÷ 100 = $366.50
Answer(s): (a) 100
p - 67; (b) $366.50
