Lynn had 1180 starfruits. After giving away 298 starfruits, she packed the remaining starfruits in bags of 7.
- 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?
(a)
Number of remaining starfruits
= 1180 - 298

Number of bags that Lynn packed
= 882 ÷ 7
= 126
(b)
Amount that Lynn collected from the sales of the starfruits
= 126 x 2
= $252
Answer(s): (a) 126; (b) $252
