Question

You collect teddy bears. You collect 4 per day and already have 20. How many days until you have a minimum of 80 teddy bears?

A) 15 days
B) 20 days
C) 30 days
D) 60 days

Answer 1

To find out in how many days a minimum of 80 teddy bears will be collected starting with 20 and collecting 4 each day, an equation is set up and solved, showing that a minimum of 15 days is needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking for the number of days required to collect a minimum of 80 teddy bears, given that you start with 20 and collect 4 per day. We can set up an equation to solve this problem: 20 + 4d ≥ 80, where d represents the number of days. Solving for d, we subtract 20 from both sides to get 4d ≥ 60. Dividing both sides by 4 to isolate d, we find d ≥ 15. This means that it will take a minimum of 15 days to have at least 80 teddy bears.
