Ian bought 7
r boxes of dragonfruits. Each box had 31 dragonfruits. He gave away 66 dragonfruits to his buddy.
- How many dragonfruits had he left?
- If he sold the rest at 48¢ each and r = 8, how much money did he receive from the dragonfruits sold? Give your answer in dollars.
(a)
Total number of dragonfruits
= 31 x 7
r = 217
r Number of dragonfruits left
= 217
r - 66
(b)
Total dragonfruits left
= 217
r - 66
= (217 x 8) - 66
= 1736 - 66
= 1670
Total amount received from the sale
= 1670 x 48
= 80160¢
$1 = 100¢
80160¢ = 80160 ÷ 100 = $801.60
Answer(s): (a) 217
r - 66; (b) $801.60
