Question

Evan makes 10 bracelets the first day and 8 bracelets each day after that. Dorinda makes 8 bracelets the first day and 8 bracelets each day after that. If they make bracelets for 6 days, how many bracelets will they make in total?

Answer 1

Evan makes a total of 50 bracelets and Dorinda makes 48 bracelets. Together, they make 98 bracelets over 6 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking to calculate the total number of bracelets made by Evan and Dorinda over a period of 6 days. Evan makes 10 bracelets on the first day and then 8 bracelets each day for the next 5 days. Dorinda makes 8 bracelets each day for all 6 days. The calculation for the total number of bracelets is as follows:

• Evan's bracelets: 10 + (5 days × 8 bracelets) = 10 + 40 = 50 bracelets
• Dorinda's bracelets: 6 days × 8 bracelets = 48 bracelets

Adding both totals together gives us the combined total: 50 bracelets (Evan) + 48 bracelets (Dorinda) = 98 bracelets in total.
