Question 708205: susie makes gift baskets for a party. she has 13 baskets leftover and plans to make 12 more each day. if there are 15 work days until the party, how many baskets will she have?
I have 2 answers 193 and 181.
12*15+13= 193
or 13 + (15-1)12=181 which is correct way?

I believe that the wording means Susie will have exactly 15 entire workdays to work on making more baskets, so I would use
12*15+13= 193
