Cindy had 1059 persimmons. After giving away 187 persimmons, she packed the remaining persimmons in bags of 8.
- How many bags of persimmons did she pack?
- She sold each bag of persimmons for $2. How much did she receive from the sales of the persimmons?

= 109 x 2
= $218
Answer(s): (a) 109; (b) $218
