Ken bought 4
v containers of mangosteens. Each container had 26 mangosteens. He gave away 72 mangosteens to his uncle.
- How many mangosteens had he left?
- If he sold the rest at 43¢ each and v = 8, how much money did he receive from the mangosteens sold? Give your answer in dollars.
(a)
Total number of mangosteens
= 26 x 4
v = 104
v Number of mangosteens left
= 104
v - 72
(b)
Total mangosteens left
= 104
v - 72
= (104 x 8) - 72
= 832 - 72
= 760
Total amount received from the sale
= 760 x 43
= 32680¢
$1 = 100¢
32680¢ = 32680 ÷ 100 = $326.80
Answer(s): (a) 104
v - 72; (b) $326.80
