Tina had 889 apples. After giving away 189 apples, she packed the remaining apples in bags of 5.
- How many bags of apples did she pack?
- She sold each bag of apples for $3. How much did she receive from the sales of the apples?
(a)
Number of remaining apples

= 140
(b)
Amount that Tina collected from the sales of the apples
= 140 x 3
= $420
Answer(s): (a) 140; (b) $420
