Answer guide · AC9M1A01

  1. 15. Each stage adds five.
  2. 40. The last jump should add ten, not five.
  3. Stages contain 5, 10, 15 and 20 dots; each new stage adds five.
  4. 10c, 20c, 30c, 40c. The total is 40 cents.

If help is needed: A picture of the same pair repeated three times is not three growing stages. Separate the stages and show the total increasing in each one.
