Zane bought 6
e boxes of starfruits. Each box had 30 starfruits. He gave away 65 starfruits to his auntie.
- How many starfruits had he left?
- If he sold the rest at 46¢ each and e = 8, how much money did he receive from the starfruits sold? Give your answer in dollars.
(a)
Total number of starfruits
= 30 x 6
e = 180
e Number of starfruits left
= 180
e - 65
(b)
Total starfruits left
= 180
e - 65
= (180 x 8) - 65
= 1440 - 65
= 1375
Total amount received from the sale
= 1375 x 46
= 63250¢
$1 = 100¢
63250¢ = 63250 ÷ 100 = $632.50
Answer(s): (a) 180
e - 65; (b) $632.50
