My question is: Last night Kannon had 3 apples, a banana, and 4 oranges for dinner. Today she is planning to have 4 more apples than last night, 10 times as many bananas as she ate last night, and twice as many oranges as apples she'll have today. How many fruits would she have eaten so far in the two meals? Your thoughts:
The total number of fruits that Kannon ate last is 3 apples + 1 banana + 4 oranges = 8. Since last night Kannon had 3 apples, today she'll eat 3 + 4 = 7 apples. She is also planning to eat 10 times as many bananas as she ate last night, a total of 1 * 10 = 10 bananas. Kannon will also eat twice as many oranges as apples she'll have today, which means she'll eat 7 * 2 = 14 oranges. Tonight Kannon will eat 14 oranges + 10 bananas + 7 apples = 31 fruits. In total, after tonight, Kannon would have eaten 31 + 8 = 39 fruits. The final answer: 39.
