Daniel bought 6
n containers of passion fruits. Each container had 34 passion fruits. He gave away 68 passion fruits to his niece.
- How many passion fruits had he left?
- If he sold the rest at 40¢ each and n = 8, how much money did he receive from the passion fruits sold? Give your answer in dollars.
(a)
Total number of passion fruits
= 34 x 6
n = 204
n Number of passion fruits left
= 204
n - 68
(b)
Total passion fruits left
= 204
n - 68
= (204 x 8) - 68
= 1632 - 68
= 1564
Total amount received from the sale
= 1564 x 40
= 62560¢
$1 = 100¢
62560¢ = 62560 ÷ 100 = $625.60
Answer(s): (a) 204
n - 68; (b) $625.60
