Question

Aidan makes 12 bracelets on Monday. He makes 8 more bracelets each day from Tuesday through Thursday. How many bracelets does Aidan makes on Friday?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Given:

The number of bracelets Aidan makes on Monday = 12

Aidan makes 8 more bracelets each day from Tuesday through Friday.

It indicates:

The number of bracelets Aidan makes on Tuesday = 12 + 8 = 20

The number of bracelets Aidan makes on Wednesday = 20 + 8 = 28

The number of bracelets Aidan makes on Thursday = 28 + 8 = 36

The number of bracelets Aidan makes on Friday= 36 + 8 = 44

Therefore:

The number of bracelets Aidan makes on Friday = 44

Answer 2

On Friday he did not make any bracelets He makes 8 more bracelets each day from Tuesday through Thursday

Explanation:

He made 12 bracelets on Monday

For 3 days (from Tuesday to Thursday) he added 8 more each day)

8*3=24

24+12 = 36

M =12

T= 20 (12+8)

W=28(20+8)

Th=36(28+8)

F=36 (still has 36 because on Friday he did not make 8 more bracelets)

8*3=24

24+12 = 36
