TO FIND Candles sold in Week 5.

SOLUTION:

According to the question,

For Week 1, 15 candles are sold each day.

Then,

For Week 2, 18 candles are sold each day. (15 + 3)

For Week 3, 21 candles are sold each day. ( 15 + 3 + 3)

For Week 4, 24 candles are sold each day.( 15 + 3 + 3 + 3)

For Week 5, 27 candles are sold each day.( 15 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3)

Since,

Therefore,

Total number of candles sold in Week 5 = 27 * 5

                                                                  =  135 Candles

135 Candles are sold in Week 5.
