Sam created candy loot bags for Halloween. He put 3 gummy bears, 2 lollipops, 5 mars bars and 7 sour keys in each bag. Sam was not sure how many loot bags to create but remembered that last year, 2 kids arrived during the first hour and that the number of kids doubled every hour for the next 3 hours. How many pieces of candy did Sam need in total? (Based on last year’s trick or treater’s)

Answer:

3+2+5+7=17 candies. People doubled for 3 hours. 2+4+8+16=30. 30×17=510 candies
