Question

Evan and Dorinda make bracelets for a craft fair. Evan makes 10 bracelets the first day and 8 bracelets each day after that. Dorinda makes 8 bracelets the first day and 8 bracelets each day after that. If they make bracelets for 6 days, how many bracelets will they make in all? a. 567 b. 987653 c. 8765 d.65

Answer 1

98 bracelets

Explanation:

Number of days, n = 6

Evan:

= 10 + 8(n - 1)

= 10 + 8(6 - 1)

= 10 + 8(5)

= 10 + 40

= 50 bracelets

Dorinda

= 8n

= 8(6)

= 48 bracelets

Total bracelets they will make in all = Evan + Dorinda

= 50 + 48

= 98 bracelets
