Peter needs to wash 20 plates, 30 pieces of silverware, and 10 cups. Then he needs to dry them all. How many items will he touch, if he touches each of them twice, once to wash and once to dry?

Each item is touched twice, once to wash and one to dry.

Total number of items is 20 plates + 30 silverware + 10 cups = 60
60 items x 2 touches = 120.
