Ahmad bought 5
v boxes of grapefruits. Each box had 26 grapefruits. He gave away 70 grapefruits to his father.
- How many grapefruits had he left?
- If he sold the rest at 46¢ each and v = 8, how much money did he receive from the grapefruits sold? Give your answer in dollars.
(a)
Total number of grapefruits
= 26 x 5
v = 130
v Number of grapefruits left
= 130
v - 70
(b)
Total grapefruits left
= 130
v - 70
= (130 x 8) - 70
= 1040 - 70
= 970
Total amount received from the sale
= 970 x 46
= 44620¢
$1 = 100¢
44620¢ = 44620 ÷ 100 = $446.20
Answer(s): (a) 130
v - 70; (b) $446.20
