- If he sold the rest at 40¢ each and d = 8, how much money did he receive from the dragonfruits sold? Give your answer in dollars.
(a)
Total number of dragonfruits
= 32 x 6
d = 192
d Number of dragonfruits left
= 192
d - 69
(b)
Total dragonfruits left
= 192
d - 69
= (192 x 8) - 69
= 1536 - 69
= 1467
Total amount received from the sale
= 1467 x 40
= 58680¢
$1 = 100¢
58680¢ = 58680 ÷ 100 = $586.80
Answer(s): (a) 192
d - 69; (b) $586.80
