- If he sold the rest at 47¢ each and d = 8, how much money did he receive from the starfruits sold? Give your answer in dollars.
(a)
Total number of starfruits
= 34 x 6
d = 204
d Number of starfruits left
= 204
d - 62
(b)
Total starfruits left
= 204
d - 62
= (204 x 8) - 62
= 1632 - 62
= 1570
Total amount received from the sale
= 1570 x 47
= 73790¢
$1 = 100¢
73790¢ = 73790 ÷ 100 = $737.90
Answer(s): (a) 204
d - 62; (b) $737.90
