Fred bought 6
q containers of passion fruits. Each container had 20 passion fruits. He gave away 75 passion fruits to his neighbour.
- How many passion fruits had he left?
- If he sold the rest at 48¢ each and q = 8, how much money did he receive from the passion fruits sold? Give your answer in dollars.
(a)
Total number of passion fruits
= 20 x 6
q = 120
q Number of passion fruits left
= 120
q - 75
(b)
Total passion fruits left
= 120
q - 75
= (120 x 8) - 75
= 960 - 75
= 885
Total amount received from the sale
= 885 x 48
= 42480¢
$1 = 100¢
42480¢ = 42480 ÷ 100 = $424.80
Answer(s): (a) 120
q - 75; (b) $424.80
