v containers of passion fruits. Each container had 34 passion fruits. He gave away 65 passion fruits to his mother.
- How many passion fruits had he left?
- If he sold the rest at 44¢ each and v = 8, how much money did he receive from the passion fruits sold? Give your answer in dollars.
(a)
Total number of passion fruits
= 34 x 10
v = 340
v Number of passion fruits left
= 340
v - 65
(b)
Total passion fruits left
= 340
v - 65
= (340 x 8) - 65
= 2720 - 65
= 2655
Total amount received from the sale
= 2655 x 44
= 116820¢
$1 = 100¢
116820¢ = 116820 ÷ 100 = $1168.20
Answer(s): (a) 340
v - 65; (b) $1168.20
