- How many dragonfruits had he left?
- If he sold the rest at 46¢ each and i = 8, how much money did he receive from the dragonfruits sold? Give your answer in dollars.
(a)
Total number of dragonfruits
= 32 x 9
i = 288
i Number of dragonfruits left
= 288
i - 74
(b)
Total dragonfruits left
= 288
i - 74
= (288 x 8) - 74
= 2304 - 74
= 2230
Total amount received from the sale
= 2230 x 46
= 102580¢
$1 = 100¢
102580¢ = 102580 ÷ 100 = $1025.80
Answer(s): (a) 288
i - 74; (b) $1025.80
