c containers of passion fruits. Each container had 21 passion fruits. He gave away 67 passion fruits to his auntie.
- How many passion fruits had he left?
- If he sold the rest at 42¢ each and c = 8, how much money did he receive from the passion fruits sold? Give your answer in dollars.
(a)
Total number of passion fruits
= 21 x 9
c = 189
c Number of passion fruits left
= 189
c - 67
(b)
Total passion fruits left
= 189
c - 67
= (189 x 8) - 67
= 1512 - 67
= 1445
Total amount received from the sale
= 1445 x 42
= 60690¢
$1 = 100¢
60690¢ = 60690 ÷ 100 = $606.90
Answer(s): (a) 189
c - 67; (b) $606.90
