Sean bought 4
f boxes of starfruits. Each box had 28 starfruits. He gave away 62 starfruits to his niece.
- How many starfruits had he left?
- If he sold the rest at 45¢ each and f = 8, how much money did he receive from the starfruits sold? Give your answer in dollars.
(a)
Total number of starfruits
= 28 x 4
f = 112
f Number of starfruits left
= 112
f - 62
(b)
Total starfruits left
= 112
f - 62
= (112 x 8) - 62
= 896 - 62
= 834
Total amount received from the sale
= 834 x 45
= 37530¢
$1 = 100¢
37530¢ = 37530 ÷ 100 = $375.30
Answer(s): (a) 112
f - 62; (b) $375.30
