Question: Two vampires have come to the sleepy village of Willowton, population 300. Every night, each vampire turns 5 more people into vampires. How many vampires are there after two nights?
Answer: First find the number of new vampires after one night: 5 people / vampire * 2 vampires = 10 people. Add that to the starting number of vampires to find the total number of vampires after one night: 10 vampires + 2 vampires = 12 vampires. Then find the number of new vampires on the second night: 5 people / vampire * 12 vampires = 60 people. Add that number to the starting number of vampires on the second night to find the total number of vampires after two nights: 60 vampires + 12 vampires = 72 vampires. The answer is 72.
