Warren bought 10
k boxes of persimmons. Each box had 20 persimmons. He gave away 75 persimmons to his buddy.
- How many persimmons had he left?
- If he sold the rest at 46¢ each and k = 8, how much money did he receive from the persimmons sold? Give your answer in dollars.
(a)
Total number of persimmons
= 20 x 10
k = 200
k Number of persimmons left
= 200
k - 75
(b)
Total persimmons left
= 200
k - 75
= (200 x 8) - 75
= 1600 - 75
= 1525
Total amount received from the sale
= 1525 x 46
= 70150¢
$1 = 100¢
70150¢ = 70150 ÷ 100 = $701.50
Answer(s): (a) 200
k - 75; (b) $701.50
