Ethan bought 9
t boxes of passion fruits. Each box had 20 passion fruits. He gave away 75 passion fruits to his best friend.
- How many passion fruits had he left?
- If he sold the rest at 42¢ each and t = 8, how much money did he receive from the passion fruits sold? Give your answer in dollars.
(a)
Total number of passion fruits
= 20 x 9
t = 180
t Number of passion fruits left
= 180
t - 75
(b)
Total passion fruits left
= 180
t - 75
= (180 x 8) - 75
= 1440 - 75
= 1365
Total amount received from the sale
= 1365 x 42
= 57330¢
$1 = 100¢
57330¢ = 57330 ÷ 100 = $573.30
Answer(s): (a) 180
t - 75; (b) $573.30
