Castles made of sand

This student was playing in reception last week. In 5 days she made 80 sandcastles. Each day she made 4 fewer castles than the day before.

How many castles did she make each day?

She went on making 4 fewer castles each day.

How many castles did she make altogether?

  1. Sh must have made 5 castle each day because if she made 4 it will last up to 60 and she needs more

    2. I agree with Emily because 24+16=40+20=60+12=72+8=80
