- If he sold the rest at 40¢ each and m = 8, how much money did he receive from the passion fruits sold? Give your answer in dollars.
(a)
Total number of passion fruits
= 23 x 7
m = 161
m Number of passion fruits left
= 161
m - 67
(b)
Total passion fruits left
= 161
m - 67
= (161 x 8) - 67
= 1288 - 67
= 1221
Total amount received from the sale
= 1221 x 40
= 48840¢
$1 = 100¢
48840¢ = 48840 ÷ 100 = $488.40
Answer(s): (a) 161
m - 67; (b) $488.40
