Perry bought 7
g containers of dragonfruits. Each container had 30 dragonfruits. He gave away 67 dragonfruits to his buddy.
- How many dragonfruits had he left?
- If he sold the rest at 50¢ each and g = 8, how much money did he receive from the dragonfruits sold? Give your answer in dollars.
(a)
Total number of dragonfruits
= 30 x 7
g = 210
g Number of dragonfruits left
= 210
g - 67
(b)
Total dragonfruits left
= 210
g - 67
= (210 x 8) - 67
= 1680 - 67
= 1613
Total amount received from the sale
= 1613 x 50
= 80650¢
$1 = 100¢
80650¢ = 80650 ÷ 100 = $806.50
Answer(s): (a) 210
g - 67; (b) $806.50
