Xuan had 1123 pears. After giving away 211 pears, she packed the remaining pears in bags of 8.
- How many bags of pears did she pack?
- She sold each bag of pears for $2. How much did she receive from the sales of the pears?
(a)
Number of remaining pears

= 114
(b)
Amount that Xuan collected from the sales of the pears
= 114 x 2
= $228
Answer(s): (a) 114; (b) $228
