Explanation Given Information: The captain brought in 360 pounds of salmon, 225 pounds of halibut and 570 pound of cod. The captain sold the salmon at $3 per pound, the halibut at $4 per pound and the cod at $5 per pound. The fuel and crew expenses are amounted to $1,644. Formula used: Steps for multiplying whole numbers. Step 1: Write down the factors such that the place values line up in columns. Step 2: Multiply every digit of the multiplier with the multiplicand, starting with the units. Each multiplication gives a partial product whose unit digit appears under the same column that is the corresponding digit of the multiplier. Step 3: Now in each column, add the digits of the partial products, starting with the unit’s column on the right. Steps for adding whole number, Step 1: Line up the place values by writing the whole numbers in column- units, tens, hundreds, thousands, and so on. Step 2: Starting from the right with the units column, add the digits in each column. Step 3: Write the units digit and carry the tens digit to the top of the next column to the left, when the total in column is greater than 9. Steps for subtracting whole number, Step 1: Line up the place values by writing the whole numbers in column- units, tens, hundreds, thousands, and so on. Step 2: Starting from the right with the units column, subtract the digits in each column. Step 3: A digit must be borrowed from the column to the left of the working column, if the column cannot be subtracted. Calculation: Consider the provided data, The captain brought in 360 pounds of salmon and the captain sold the salmon at $3 per pound. Therefore, the profit through salmon will be, pounds of fish × price per pound So, the expression becomes, 360 × 3 ¯ Consider the provided expression, 360 × 3 ¯ Multiply the multiplier ‘3’ with the multiplicand: 360 × 3 1080 ¯ Therefore, the profit through salmon is $1080. Now consider the following data, The captain brought 225 pounds of halibut and the captain sold the halibut at $4 per pound Therefore, the profit through halibut will be, pounds of fish × price per pound So the expression becomes, 225 × 4 ¯ Consider the provided expression, 225 × 4 ¯ Multiply the multiplier ‘4’ with the multiplicand. 225 × 4 900 ¯ Therefore, the profit through halibut is $900. Now consider the data, The captain brought in 570 pound of cod and the captain sold the cod at $5 per pound. Therefore, the profit through cod will be, pounds of fish × price per pound So, the expression becomes, 570 × 5 ¯ Consider the provided expression, 570 × 5 ¯ Multiply the multiplier ‘5’ with the multiplicand: 570 × 5 2850 ¯ Therefore, the profit through cod is $2,850. Now, the total amount made by the captain through the fish will be, total price of salmon + total price of halibut + total price of cod So, the expression becomes, 2850 1080 + 900 ¯ Consider the operation, and line up the place values: 2850 1080 + 900 ¯ Now, add the digits in each column starting from the right with the unit’s column
