Evan and Dorinda make bracelets for a craft fair. Evan makes 10 bracelets the first day and 8 bracelets each day after that. Dorinda makes 8 bracelets the first day and 8 each day after that. If they make bracelets for 6 days, how many bracelets will they make in all?

Answer 1

First, let's calculate the total number of bracelets Evan makes over the 6 days:

Evan makes 10 bracelets on the first day, so that's 10 bracelets.
For the next 5 days, Evan makes 8 bracelets each day, so that's 8 * 5 = 40 bracelets.
In total, Evan makes 10 + 40 = 50 bracelets over the 6 days.

Now, let's calculate the total number of bracelets Dorinda makes over the 6 days:

Dorinda makes 8 bracelets on the first day, so that's 8 bracelets.
For the next 5 days, Dorinda also makes 8 bracelets each day, so that's 8 * 5 = 40 bracelets.
In total, Dorinda makes 8 + 40 = 48 bracelets over the 6 days.

Adding together the number of bracelets Evan and Dorinda make, we get 50 + 48 = 98 bracelets in all over the 6 days.

Therefore, Evan and Dorinda will make a total of 98 bracelets over the course of the 6-day craft fair.
