For 5 days, Chantel makes 2 friendship bracelets every day. She gives away 3 bracelets to her friends at school. Then for four days, she makes 3 friendship bracelets every day. Then she gives away 6 bracelets to her friends at soccer practice. How many bracelets does Chantel have in the end?
Thoughts? Step-by-step reasoning:
After five days, Chantel has 5 * 2 = 10 bracelets. Then she has 10 - 3 = 7 bracelets. After the next four days, she makes 4 * 3 = 12 bracelets. In the end, Chantel has 7 + 12 - 6 = 13 bracelets.
Thus, the answer is 13.
