Mily recycled 66 cans in February, 94 cans in March, 122 cans in April, and 150 cans in May. If this pattern went from January through May, how many cans did the family recycle in January?
while looking at the numbers given I noticed that the number of cans recycled went up by 28 cans, so I took February's number, 66, and subtracted 28 to get 38
