Because 1 pound=16 ounces, they sold 7.5 pounds of the cherries. 201.5 pounds of cherries are left. Or 402 8 ounce bags

200.5 <<<<< Quick Answer.
8 oz is 1/2 a pound.
15 bags = 15 * 1/2 = 7 1/2 pounds.


What is left = what they ordered - what they sold
What is left = 208 - 7.5
What is left = 200.5 pounds of cherries.
