Question

Viola makes gift baskets for Valentine’s Day. She has 13 baskets left over from last year, and she plans to make 12 more each day. If there are 15 work days until the day she begins to sell the baskets, how many baskets will she have to sell?

Answer 1

Answer: She will have to sell 193 baskets.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the initial number of baskets she has = 13

After that, she plans to make 12 more each day for 15 days,

Thus, the extra baskets, she made in 15 days = 12 × 15 = 180

Since, the total basket she has to sell = Initial basket she has + The extra basket she made

= 13 + 180

= 193

Hence, She will have to sell 193 baskets.

Answer 2

Total number of baskets = 13 + 12 × 15
According to the PEMDAS acronym, we first need to multiply 12 by 15, which equals 180.
Now the equation is:
Total # of baskets = 13 + 180
13 + 180 = 193. She will have 193 baskets to sell.
