Caden bought 10
t containers of starfruits. Each container had 29 starfruits. He gave away 62 starfruits to his best friend.
- How many starfruits had he left?
- If he sold the rest at 45¢ each and t = 8, how much money did he receive from the starfruits sold? Give your answer in dollars.
(a)
Total number of starfruits
= 29 x 10
t = 290
t Number of starfruits left
= 290
t - 62
(b)
Total starfruits left
= 290
t - 62
= (290 x 8) - 62
= 2320 - 62
= 2258
Total amount received from the sale
= 2258 x 45
= 101610¢
$1 = 100¢
101610¢ = 101610 ÷ 100 = $1016.10
Answer(s): (a) 290
t - 62; (b) $1016.10
