Answer 2

65 apples

Explanation:

We Know

John has 8 boxes of apples.

Each box holds 10 apples.

If 5 of the boxes are full, and 3 of the boxes are half full, how many apples does John have?

Let's solve

5 boxes are full: 5 x 10 = 50 apples

3 boxes are half full = 3(1/2 · 10) = 15 apples

50 + 15 = 65 apples

So, John has 65 apples.
