Jeremy bought 10
z boxes of persimmons. Each box had 33 persimmons. He gave away 70 persimmons to his mother.
- How many persimmons had he left?
- If he sold the rest at 43¢ each and z = 8, how much money did he receive from the persimmons sold? Give your answer in dollars.
(a)
Total number of persimmons
= 33 x 10
z = 330
z Number of persimmons left
= 330
z - 70
(b)
Total persimmons left
= 330
z - 70
= (330 x 8) - 70
= 2640 - 70
= 2570
Total amount received from the sale
= 2570 x 43
= 110510¢
$1 = 100¢
110510¢ = 110510 ÷ 100 = $1105.10
Answer(s): (a) 330
z - 70; (b) $1105.10
