Baker's Apples

Day Apples Used
1 6
2 twice as many apples as on day 1
3 three times as many apples as on day 1
4 15
5 ?

What is the greatest number of apples the baker could have used on day 5 ?


apples



Answer :

Answer:

35 apples

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that on day 1 she used 6 apples

If on day two, she used twice as many as day 1, day 2 = [tex]6*2=12[/tex]

On day 3 she used triple as many as on day 1, so day 3 = [tex]6*3 = 18[/tex]

day 4 = 15 → given

To find the greatest number of apples possible, we'll use the maximum # of apples = 80.

We need a number that, when added, means that the baker used the maximum # of apples for a work week. To find that, we'll subtract the maximum (80) by the # of used apples on the other 4 days.

day 5 = 80-15-18-12 = 35 apples.
