Question

The Irish Step Dancers performed 2 shows every night, except Sunday.  The show ran for 5 weeks. How many shows did the dancers perform? 

Answer 1

How many days are in the week?

Seven (7)

 

If you take Sunday away, how many days of the week are left?

Six (6)

Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday. 

 

If there were two (2) shows a night how many show are there a week?

2+2+2+2+2+2=12.

 

There are twelve (12) shows a week. 

 

Now add up all the weeks that during which the show runs. In this case, it is five (5) weeks. 

 

So the answer is 

 

12+12+12+12+12=60.
