Evan and dorina make bracelets for a craft fair Evan makes 10 bracelets the first day and 8 bracelets each day after that dorinda makes 8 bracelets for 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

1 answer

Let's calculate the total number of bracelets Evan and Dorina make over the 6 days.

Evan's Bracelets:

  • Day 1: 10 bracelets
  • Days 2-6: 8 bracelets per day for 5 days.

Calculating Evan's total:

  • Day 1: 10
  • Days 2 to 6: \(8 \times 5 = 40\)

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

Dorina's Bracelets:

  • Day 1: 8 bracelets
  • Days 2-6: 8 bracelets per day for 5 days.

Calculating Dorina's total:

  • Day 1: 8
  • Days 2 to 6: \(8 \times 5 = 40\)

Total for Dorina: \[ 8 + 40 = 48 \text{ bracelets} \]

Total Bracelets Made: Now, we'll add the totals from both Evan and Dorina: \[ 50 + 48 = 98 \text{ bracelets} \]

Therefore, Evan and Dorina will make a total of 98 bracelets over the 6 days.
