Seth and Max were selling candy bars for a school fundraiser. Seth sold 6 more candy bars than 3 times the number of candy bars that Max sold. If Max sold 24 candy bars, how many did Seth sell? Let's think first. Chain of thought:
Let C be the number of candy bars Seth sold. 3 * 24 + 6 = C. 72 + 6 = C. C = 78.
Therefore, the answer is 78.
