Carrie had a bag of jelly beans she ate 5 and then gave the bag to her brother to share with the eight other boys on his basketball yteam carrie's brother ate 4 jelly beansd the first teammate ate 6, then the next one ate 8 and so on aftyer the last teammate took his jelly beans there were 3 jelly beansd left in the bag how many jelly beans lewere in the bag to start with

There were 116 jelly beans in the bag to start with

Explanation:

a. Let's start with Carries brother and his friends.

We are given that Carrie's brother ate 4 jelly beans,  the first teammate ate 6, the second teammate ate 8 and so on.

Noticing the pattern, we can see that each teammate ate 2 jelly beans more that the one preceding him.

We are also given that Carrie's brother has 8 teammates.

This means that:

Carrie's brother ate 4 jelly beans

First teammate ate 4 + 2 = 6 jelly beans

Second teammate ate 6 + 2 = 8 jelly beans

Third teammate ate 8 + 2 = 10 jelly beans

Fourth teammate ate 10 + 2 = 12 jelly beans

Fifth teammate ate 12 + 2 = 14 jelly beans

Sixth teammate ate 14 + 2 = 16 jelly beans

Seventh teammate ate 16 + 2 = 18 jelly beans

Eighth teammate ate 18 + 2 = 20 jelly beans

Now, we calculate the total number of jelly beans eaten by Carrie's brother and his teammates

Total jelly beans = 4 + 6 + 8 + 10 + 12 + 14 + 16 + 18 + 20 = 108 jelly beans

b. Next, we move to Carrie:

We are given that Carrie ate 5 jelly beans

Adding that to the total number of jelly beans from part a, we get the total number of eaten jelly beans

Therefore:

Total number of eaten jelly beans = 108 + 5 = 113 jelly beans

c. Getting the number of jelly beans that were in the bag to start with:

We are given that the remaining number of jelly beans in the bag after all has eaten was 3 jelly beans

This means that, if we added the number of eaten jelly beans to the number of remaining jelly beans, we will get the total number of jelly beans that were in the bag to start with

Therefore:

Total number of jelly beans in the bag to start with = 113 + 3 = 116 jelly beans

total amount of money that he should pay if he has not used his duty free exemption is $98

step-by-step explanation:

given a united states citizen returning to the states declares the following items at the customs office: 3 shirts at $8.50 each 2 dresses at $27.50 each 1 pair of gold cuff links at $17.50 per pair. we have to find how much he pay

cost of 3 shirts if one cost at $8.50 is

cost of 2 dresses if one cost at $27.50 is  

cost of 1 pair of gold cuff at $17.50

so, total amount of money that he should pay if he has not used his duty free exemption is   $25.5+$55+$17.50=$98
