Consider the question. Jake is retrieving the notes on a communal board, putting all of the red notes in the complaints bin and all of the blue notes in the compliments bin. The red notes were in 5 rows with 6 notes in each row. There are 2 blue notes under each of the red notes, as well as another 10 blue notes scattered at the bottom of the board. How many notes in total are put into the complaints and compliments bins?
What is the step-by-step reasoning process to arrive at the answer: 100?
There are a total of 5 rows of red notes * 6 notes per row = 30 red notes on the board. There are 2 blue notes per red notes * 30 red notes = 60 blue notes under the red notes. With the other blue notes at the bottom of the board, there are a total of 60 + 10 = 70 blue notes. So in total, there are 30 red notes + 70 blue notes = 100 notes in total.
