Carl bought 9
e boxes of passion fruits. Each box had 38 passion fruits. He gave away 60 passion fruits to his neighbour.
- How many passion fruits had he left?
- If he sold the rest at 45¢ each and e = 8, how much money did he receive from the passion fruits sold? Give your answer in dollars.
(a)
Total number of passion fruits
= 38 x 9
e = 342
e Number of passion fruits left
= 342
e - 60
(b)
Total passion fruits left
= 342
e - 60
= (342 x 8) - 60
= 2736 - 60
= 2676
Total amount received from the sale
= 2676 x 45
= 120420¢
$1 = 100¢
120420¢ = 120420 ÷ 100 = $1204.20
Answer(s): (a) 342
e - 60; (b) $1204.20
