Goal: Think like a mathematician! Learn to look for repetition in your calculation process, then generalize the regularity.
Mr. Munroe was buying furniture for the McKay School. He spent $7,600 on chairs and also bought some tables for $50 each. Find out the total amount he would spend on furniture if he bought 1, 2, 3, and 10 tables. Find a rule for determining the total amount Mr. Munroe would spend given any number of tables.
