Jean had 550 pomegranates. After giving away 187 pomegranates, she packed the remaining pomegranates in bags of 3.
- How many bags of pomegranates did she pack?
- She sold each bag of pomegranates for $2. How much did she receive from the sales of the pomegranates?
(a)
Number of remaining pomegranates
= 550 - 187

Number of bags that Jean packed
= 363 ÷ 3
= 121
(b)
Amount that Jean collected from the sales of the pomegranates
= 121 x 2
= $242
Answer(s): (a) 121; (b) $242
