nope. Your answer indicates that <u>each</u> bag has 1254 beads. But that is not the case.

Two packs of beads contain 1254 beads, so each pack is half that many. So, your calculation should have been

(1254/2)*3 = 1881

The 2nd questions is actually a bit of a trick to see whether you are paying attention (which you apparently did not)
What do you think?
