Question

Ms. Jones baked 12 cookies on Monday. On Tuesday, she baked 15 cookies, on Wednesday, she baked 18 cookies. If Ms. Jones continues baking cookies this way, how many will she bake on Friday?​

Answer 1

19 or 20

Explanation:

well is see

Monday = 12

Tuesday = 12 + 3 = 15

Wednesday = 15 +3 = 18

so the pattern is 3

but now since there is only 14, 13, 19, and 20

we could say she only added 1 or 1 each time

because it said she wanted cookies to stay about 18

1 x 2 = 2

18 + 2 = 20

or

1 + 18

19

sorry if it's wrong
