What was the total number of infections during the second wave in 2 weeks? How many more infections were there during the second wave than during the first wave? ** When the number of cases increased by four times more per day during the second wave, there were 4*300 = <<4*300=1200>>1200 more infections per day than during the first wave. How many infections were there during the second wave? ** The total number of infections during the second wave per day was 1200+300=<<1200+300=1500>>1500 How many infections were there during the second wave in 2 weeks? ** For two weeks with 14 days, the number of me infections was 14*1500=<<14*1500=21000>>21000 #### 21000 At a convention, 16 of 36 delegates arrived with pre-printed name badges.

From Monday to Friday, Mary collected twice as many red marbles as Jenny and half the number of blue marbles collected by Anie, who collected 20 more red marbles than Mary and twice the number of blue marbles Jenny collected. If Jenny collected 30 red marbles and 25 blue marbles, what's the total number of blue marbles collected by the friends together? How many red marbles did Mary collect? ** If Mary collected twice the number of red marbles collected by Jenny, she got 2*30 = <<2*30=60>>60 red marbles. How many red marbles did Anie collect? ** Anie collected 20 more red marbles than Mary, which is 60+20 = 80 red marbles. How many red marbles did the friends collect together? ** The total number of red marbles is 60+80+30 = <<60+80+30=170>>170 red marbles.
