Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer: 3 days, 54 belts and wallets sold


Discussion:

After x days, belts sold = 3^x

Notice that "x" being days is probably an integer (A guess on my part)

After x days, wallets sold is 4x + 15.

Let's create a table and see if we can find the answer:


x 3^x 4x + 15

------------------------------------------------

1 3 4(1) + 15 = 19

2 9 (3^2) 4(2) + 15 = 23

3 27 (3^3) 4(3) + 15 = 12 + 15 = 27


So after day 3 the number of belts and wallets sold are the same. 27 units of each has been sold so the total number of sold items = 27 + 27 = 54
