At the beginning of the first day, a granite quarry has 14 truckloads of granite ready for delivery. every day, the quarry mines 8 truckloads of granite and delivers 6 truckloads. how many truckloads of granite does the quarry have on hand at the beginning of the sixth day? a. 50 b. 22 c. 62 d. 24

Truckloads at the beginning of first day =14

Truckloads mined on first day =8

Total truckload on first day = 8+14 = 22

Truckload delivered on first day = 6

Truckload at the end on first day = 22-6 = 16

Truckloads mined on second day =8

Total truckload on second day = 8+16 = 24

Truckload delivered on second day = 6

Truckload at the end on second day = 24-6 = 18

Truckloads mined on third day =8

Total truckload on third day = 8+18 = 26

Truckload delivered on third day = 6

Truckload at the end on third day = 26-6 = 20

Truckloads mined on fourth day =8

Total truckload on fourth day = 8+20 = 28

Truckload delivered on fourth day = 6

Truckload at the end on fourth day = 28-6 = 22

Truckloads mined on fifth day =8

Total truckload on fifth day = 8+22 = 30

Truckload delivered on fifth day = 6

Truckload at the end on fifth day = 30-6 = 24

So at the beginning of sixth day will be equal to what is at the end of fifth day.

Answer is 24 option D.
