Peanut Factory

Posted by MomOnMars on September 18, 2011

Welcome to Twyla’s Corner, where each Monday, I post a question from the Blue Filing Box of math problems. The first person with the correct answer wins. Today’s prize is the Big Air Dare Movie featuring Tonka Chuck and Friends and a mini-Muddy Chuck the Dump Truck from Hasbro.

Peanut Factory

Waldo ate a total of 100 peanuts over a period of five days. Each day he ate six more than on the previous day. How many peanuts did he eat on the first day?
