Question: On Monday Samson ate 3 sandwiches at lunch and ate twice as many at dinner. The next morning, he felt sick from eating all those sandwiches, so he only ate one sandwich for breakfast. How many more sandwiches in total did Samson eat on Monday than Tuesday? Think carefully first, then make a decision:
Samson ate 3 sandwiches x 2 = 6 sandwiches at dinner on Monday. He ate 3 sandwiches + 6 sandwiches = 9 sandwiches total on Monday. Therefore, he ate 9 sandwiches - 1 sandwich = 8 more sandwiches on Monday than Tuesday. So the answer is 8.
