At a fruit stall, 304 starfruits were sold in the morning and ⁵₈ of the remaining starfruits were sold in the afternoon. As a result, the number of starfruits left became ¹₄ of the total number of starfruits at first. Given that the starfruits were sold at $3.60 in packs of four starfruits, how much did the fruit stall receive from the sale of the starfruits in the afternoon?
Fraction of the remaining starfruits left
= 1 - ⁵₈
= ³₈

Make numerators the same.
³₈ of remaining starfruits = ¹₄ of total starfruits
³₈ of remaining starfruits = ³₁₂ of total starfruits

12 u - 8 u = 304
4 u = 304
1 u = 304 ÷ 4 = 76

Number of starfruits sold in the afternoon
= 5 u
= 5 x 76
= 380

Number of packs of four starfruits sold in the afternoon
= 380 ÷ 4
= 95

Amount received for starfruits sold in the afternoon
= 95 x 3.60
= $342

Answer(s): $342
