Luke bought 4
h boxes of dragonfruits. Each box had 30 dragonfruits. He gave away 75 dragonfruits to his mother.
- How many dragonfruits had he left?
- If he sold the rest at 44¢ each and h = 8, how much money did he receive from the dragonfruits sold? Give your answer in dollars.
(a)
Total number of dragonfruits
= 30 x 4
h = 120
h Number of dragonfruits left
= 120
h - 75
(b)
Total dragonfruits left
= 120
h - 75
= (120 x 8) - 75
= 960 - 75
= 885
Total amount received from the sale
= 885 x 44
= 38940¢
$1 = 100¢
38940¢ = 38940 ÷ 100 = $389.40
Answer(s): (a) 120
h - 75; (b) $389.40
