Owen bought 7
f boxes of pomegranates. Each box had 20 pomegranates. He gave away 70 pomegranates to his buddy.
- How many pomegranates had he left?
- If he sold the rest at 41¢ each and f = 8, how much money did he receive from the pomegranates sold? Give your answer in dollars.
(a)
Total number of pomegranates
= 20 x 7
f = 140
f Number of pomegranates left
= 140
f - 70
(b)
Total pomegranates left
= 140
f - 70
= (140 x 8) - 70
= 1120 - 70
= 1050
Total amount received from the sale
= 1050 x 41
= 43050¢
$1 = 100¢
43050¢ = 43050 ÷ 100 = $430.50
Answer(s): (a) 140
f - 70; (b) $430.50
