Paul bought 8
i containers of pomegranates. Each container had 36 pomegranates. He gave away 64 pomegranates to his uncle.
- How many pomegranates had he left?
- If he sold the rest at 47¢ each and i = 8, how much money did he receive from the pomegranates sold? Give your answer in dollars.
(a)
Total number of pomegranates
= 36 x 8
i = 288
i Number of pomegranates left
= 288
i - 64
(b)
Total pomegranates left
= 288
i - 64
= (288 x 8) - 64
= 2304 - 64
= 2240
Total amount received from the sale
= 2240 x 47
= 105280¢
$1 = 100¢
105280¢ = 105280 ÷ 100 = $1052.80
Answer(s): (a) 288
i - 64; (b) $1052.80
