A.110
B.34
C.140
D.70

Answer 1

If John has 14 boxes of apples, each box can hold up to 10 apples and he has 8 full and 6 half-full boxes, then he has:

8 * 10 + 6 * 5 = 80 + 30 = 110 apples

Answer: A

Answer 2

The 8 full boxes have 80 apples (8x10) and the 6 half boxes have 30 apples (6x5).
So: 80+30=110
