Question

Five sand pails aligned side by side contain a total of 100 seashells. Each bucket contains two seashells fewer than the bucket to its left. How many seashells are in each bucket?

a.
24, 22, 20, 18, 16
c.
20, 18, 16, 14, 12
b.
30, 28, 26, 24, 22
d.
26, 24, 22, 20, 18

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

Because it said 100 sea shells and 2 fewer and each bucket.

Bucket B contains 130 which is way more.

Bucket c contains only 80

Bucket D contains 110 so it has to be A.

Have a great day! :)
