Risa had 1047 starfruits. After giving away 111 starfruits, she packed the remaining starfruits in bags of 8.
- How many bags of starfruits did she pack?
- She sold each bag of starfruits for $2. How much did she receive from the sales of the starfruits?

= 117 x 2
= $234
Answer(s): (a) 117; (b) $234
