Answer 1

Charmaine received 25 phone calls on the first evening, 26 calls on the second evening, and 100 calls on the third evening.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of phone calls Charmaine received each evening, let's represent the number of calls on the first evening as x. According to the question, on the second evening, she received more calls than the first evening.

So let's say she received x + 1 calls on the second evening. And on the third evening, she received 4 times as many calls as the first evening, which is 4x.

The total number of calls over the three evenings is 151, so we can write the equation x + (x + 1) + 4x = 151. Solving this equation, we find that x = 25. Therefore, Charmaine received 25 phone calls on the first evening, 26 calls on the second evening, and 100 calls on the third evening.
