Evan and dorina make bracelets for a craft fair Evan makes 10 braces the first day in eight bracelets each day after that dorinda makes a bracelets for the first day in a bracelets each day after that if they make bracelets for 6 days how many bracelets will they make in all

1 answer

Let's break this down step by step for both Evan and Dorina.

Evan:

  • On the first day, Evan makes 10 bracelets.
  • For the next 5 days, he makes 8 bracelets each day.

Calculating Evan's total bracelets:

  • Day 1: 10 bracelets
  • Days 2 to 6 (5 days): 5 days × 8 bracelets/day = 40 bracelets

Total bracelets made by Evan: \[ 10 + 40 = 50 \text{ bracelets} \]

Dorina:

  • Let's assume "a" represents the number of bracelets Dorina makes on the first day.
  • For the next 5 days, she makes "b" bracelets each day.

Calculating Dorina's total bracelets:

  • Day 1: a bracelets
  • Days 2 to 6 (5 days): 5 days × b bracelets/day = 5b bracelets

Total bracelets made by Dorina: \[ a + 5b \text{ bracelets} \]

Total bracelets by both Evan and Dorina: The total number of bracelets made together would be: \[ \text{Total} = 50 + a + 5b \]

If you provide values for "a" and "b," we can calculate the exact total. If you have specific numbers for how many Dorina makes on the first day and each subsequent day, please provide them!
