Cody bought 5
r containers of dragonfruits. Each container had 21 dragonfruits. He gave away 60 dragonfruits to his friend.
- How many dragonfruits had he left?
- If he sold the rest at 49¢ each and r = 8, how much money did he receive from the dragonfruits sold? Give your answer in dollars.
(a)
Total number of dragonfruits
= 21 x 5
r = 105
r Number of dragonfruits left
= 105
r - 60
(b)
Total dragonfruits left
= 105
r - 60
= (105 x 8) - 60
= 840 - 60
= 780
Total amount received from the sale
= 780 x 49
= 38220¢
$1 = 100¢
38220¢ = 38220 ÷ 100 = $382.20
Answer(s): (a) 105
r - 60; (b) $382.20
