\nHi, Jennifer.
\n <\/strong>
\nMy son was given the following question on a practice SAT exam this morning: “On the last day of a one-week sale, customers numbered 149 through 201 were waited on. How many customers were waited on that day?”<\/p>\n

What is the correct answer to this problem, and why? <\/strong>
\n– Stumped Mama
\n <\/strong>
\nDear Mama:
\n <\/strong>
\nIf customer #149 and #201 and everybody in between were waited upon, that would total 53 people. Think about it this way: If ten people are waiting in line at Andy’s for frozen custard and numbers 1 through 10 are served, that isn’t just 9 customers (1+9=10), it’s actually 10 customers, because you count the first customer, too. They serve him, plus the nine people after him. Expand that to your problem. 149 + 52 = 201, but if they are serving #149, also, that would be a total of 53 customers who are waited upon: #149, plus the 52 people in line behind him. You have to count both endpoints. Doesn’t that make sense?
\n <\/strong>
\nTell your son not to get discouraged. That kind of question trips up a lot of students, but once you know the trick, it’s easy!
