At a fruit stall, 400 pomegranates were sold in the morning and ⁴₇ of the remaining pomegranates were sold in the afternoon. As a result, the number of pomegranates left became ¹₄ of the total number of pomegranates at first. Given that the pomegranates were sold at $3.60 in packs of eight pomegranates, how much did the fruit stall receive from the sale of the pomegranates in the afternoon?
Fraction of the remaining pomegranates left
= 1 - ⁴₇
= ³₇

Make numerators the same.
³₇ of remaining pomegranates = ¹₄ of total pomegranates
³₇ of remaining pomegranates = ³₁₂ of total pomegranates

12 u - 7 u = 400
5 u = 400
1 u = 400 ÷ 5 = 80

Number of pomegranates sold in the afternoon
= 4 u
= 4 x 80
= 320

Number of packs of eight pomegranates sold in the afternoon
= 320 ÷ 8
= 40

Amount received for pomegranates sold in the afternoon
= 40 x 3.60
= $144

Answer(s): $144
