Question

Today Al bought 36 hats and now has triple the

number of hats he had yesterday. If tomorrow Al
buys triple the number of hats he has today, how
many hats will Al have after tomorrow's purchase?

Answer 1

Explanation:

take the number of hats he bought yesterday as x,

today 3x = 36

yesterday x = 12

hats to be bought tomorrow 36 × 3 = 108

so total = 12 + 36 + 108

=156 hats
