If Billy rode his bike 17 times, John rode his bike twice as many times, and their mother rode her bike 10 times more than John, how many times did they ride their bikes in total?
Thoughts? Step-by-step reasoning:
To find the number of total bike rides, we must first determine how many times John rode his bike. We do this by performing 17 * 2 = 34 times for John. Since John's mother rode 10 times more than John did, we find her total by performing 34 + 10 = 44 times. For all three people put together then, we perform 44 + 34 + 17 = 95 times in total.
Thus, the answer is 95.
