Question

Micheal is collecting sea glass from the beach. He begins with 14 pieces in his collection and adds 2 new pieces each day. Determine how may days it will Micheal to have 80 pieces of sea glass in his collection.

Answer 1

It would take Micheal 22 days.

Explanation:

The end goal is to have 80 and we begin with 14

So, 80 - 14 = 66 pieces left to collect

If he collects 3 per day we'll divide 66 by 3, which equals 22

Therefore it takes him 22 days
