Mason opens the hood of his car and discovers that squirrels have been using his engine compartment to store nuts. If 2 busy squirrels have been stockpiling 30 nuts/day and one sleepy squirrel has been stockpiling 20 nuts/day, all for 40 days, how many nuts are in Mason's car?
Mason opens the hood of his car and discovers that squirrels have been using his engine compartment to store nuts. If [NUMBER] busy squirrels have been stockpiling [NUMBER] nuts/day and one sleepy squirrel has been stockpiling [NUMBER] nuts/day, all for [NUMBER] days, how many nuts are in Mason's car?
First find the number of nuts the two busy squirrels gather per day: 2 squirrels * 30 nuts/day/squirrel = <<2*30=60>>60 nuts/day
Then add the number the sleepy squirrel gathers each day: 60 nuts/day + 20 nuts/day = <<60+20=80>>80 nuts/day
Then multiply the number of nuts gathered daily by the number of days to find the total number of nuts gathered: 80 nuts/day * 40 days = <<80*40=3200>>3200 nuts
