Sam bought 10
e containers of passion fruits. Each container had 31 passion fruits. He gave away 60 passion fruits to his buddy.
- How many passion fruits had he left?
- If he sold the rest at 43¢ each and e = 8, how much money did he receive from the passion fruits sold? Give your answer in dollars.
(a)
Total number of passion fruits
= 31 x 10
e = 310
e Number of passion fruits left
= 310
e - 60
(b)
Total passion fruits left
= 310
e - 60
= (310 x 8) - 60
= 2480 - 60
= 2420
Total amount received from the sale
= 2420 x 43
= 104060¢
$1 = 100¢
104060¢ = 104060 ÷ 100 = $1040.60
Answer(s): (a) 310
e - 60; (b) $1040.60
