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 she has 15 work days until the day begins to sell the baskets, how many baskets will she have to sell ?

Answer 1

Viola has 13 already.

She is going to work 15 days and make 12 each day. 15 x 12 = 180 new baskets.

Add the old and the new - 13 + 180 = 193 baskets total.
