Carl bought 4
e containers of grapefruits. Each container had 26 grapefruits. He gave away 67 grapefruits to his buddy.
- How many grapefruits had he left?
- If he sold the rest at 44¢ each and e = 8, how much money did he receive from the grapefruits sold? Give your answer in dollars.
(a)
Total number of grapefruits
= 26 x 4
e = 104
e Number of grapefruits left
= 104
e - 67
(b)
Total grapefruits left
= 104
e - 67
= (104 x 8) - 67
= 832 - 67
= 765
Total amount received from the sale
= 765 x 44
= 33660¢
$1 = 100¢
33660¢ = 33660 ÷ 100 = $336.60
Answer(s): (a) 104
e - 67; (b) $336.60
