Flynn bought 8
i boxes of dragonfruits. Each box had 23 dragonfruits. He gave away 70 dragonfruits to his buddy.
- How many dragonfruits had he left?
- If he sold the rest at 40¢ each and i = 8, how much money did he receive from the dragonfruits sold? Give your answer in dollars.
(a)
Total number of dragonfruits
= 23 x 8
i = 184
i Number of dragonfruits left
= 184
i - 70
(b)
Total dragonfruits left
= 184
i - 70
= (184 x 8) - 70
= 1472 - 70
= 1402
Total amount received from the sale
= 1402 x 40
= 56080¢
$1 = 100¢
56080¢ = 56080 ÷ 100 = $560.80
Answer(s): (a) 184
i - 70; (b) $560.80
