Question

The butcher sold 63.8 pounds of meat on Monday. He sold 25.3 pounds more than that on Tuesday. On Wednesday, he sold 14.5 pounds more that he did on Tuesday. How many pounds of meat did he sell over the three days?

Answer 1

Monday: 63.8
Tuesday: 63.8 + 25.3 = 89.1
Wednesday: 89.1 + 14.5 = 103.6

63.8 + 89.1 + 103.6 = 256.5

The butcher sold 256.5 pounds of meat over the three days.
