Question

Viola makes gift baskets for valentine’s day. she has 10 baskets left over from last year, and she plans to make 8 more each day. if there are 20 work days until the day she begins to sell the baskets, how many baskets will she have to sell?

Answer 1

Viola will have a total of 170 gift baskets to sell for Valentine's Day after making 8 new baskets each day for 20 days and adding the 10 leftover baskets from last year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Viola starts with 10 baskets left over from last year. She plans to make 8 baskets each day for 20 work days. To determine how many baskets she will have in total, we need to calculate the additional baskets she makes and then add the leftovers from last year.

To calculate the additional baskets, we multiply the number of baskets made each day by the number of work days: 8 baskets/day × 20 days = 160 baskets. Adding the leftover baskets gives us: 160 baskets + 10 baskets = 170 baskets in total.

Therefore, Viola will have 170 baskets to sell for Valentine's Day.

Viola's basket-making plan involves crafting 8 baskets daily for 20 workdays, resulting in an additional 160 baskets. Adding these to the 10 leftover baskets from the previous year, she will have a total of 170 baskets available for sale on Valentine's Day.

This strategic calculation ensures an accurate count of her inventory.
