Question

Taylor read 32 pages on Monday. On Tuesday, she read twice as much as she read on Monday. On Wednesday, she read 14 fewer pages than she did on Tuesday. How many total pages did Taylor read during the three days?

Answer 1

Answer:

Taylor read 146 pages during these three days.

Step-by-step explanation:

32 pages on Monday.

On Tuesday twice, as much as Monday. So 2*32 = 64 on Tuesday.

On Wednesday, 14 less pages than Tuesday. 64 - 14 = 50. So he read 50 pages on Wednesday.

How many total pages did Taylor read during these three days?

32 + 64 + 50 = 146

Taylor read 146 pages during these three days.
