Question

Dora has inherited a collection of 30 antique frogs. Each year she vows to buy two frogs a month to grow a collection. This is an additional 24 frogs per year. How many frogs will she have in six years?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Dora has 30 antique frogs, and she plans to buy two more each month, which is an additional 24 frogs per year. Therefore, the total number of frogs she will have after one year is:

30 + 24 = 54

After two years, she will have:

54 + 24 = 78

After three years:

78 + 24 = 102

And so on. We can see that each year, Dora will add 24 frogs to her collection. So after six years, she will have:

30 + (24 x 6) = 174

Therefore, Dora will have 174 frogs in six years if she continues to buy two frogs per month.
