Freddie and his team are collecting blankets for three days to be donated to the Children Shelter Organization. There are 15 people on the team. On the first day, each of them gave 2 blankets. On the second day, they tripled the number they collected on the first day by asking door-to-door. On the last day, they set up boxes at schools and got a total of 22 blankets. How many blankets did they collect for the three days for donation? Give me reasons, before answering the question
They collected 15 x 2 = 30 blankets on the first day. Freddie and his team collected 30 x 3 = 90 blankets on the second day. They collected a total of 90 + 22 + 30 = 142 for three days. So the final answer is 142.
