Answer 1

The toy store sold 12,931 stuffed animals in 2014, 26,201 in 2015, and 26,201 in 2016. The total over these three years is 65,333 stuffed animals, which is approximately 65,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the total number of stuffed animals sold by the toy store in 2014, 2015, and 2016, we will first determine how many were sold each year and then sum those amounts. In 2014, the toy store sold 12,931 stuffed animals. In 2015, they sold 13,270 more than in 2014, which amounts to 12,931 + 13,270 = 26,201 stuffed animals. In 2016, the store sold the same number as in 2015, so again, it was 26,201 stuffed animals.

The total number of stuffed animals sold over the three years is the sum of the annual sales figures. Therefore:

• 2014 sales: 12,931
• 2015 sales: 26,201
• 2016 sales: 26,201

Adding these together gives us:

• Total sales over three years = 12,931 + 26,201 + 26,201 = 65,333 stuffed animals.

So the toy store sold approximately 65,000 stuffed animals in 3 years.
