Question

I visited friends in New York City during the
summer. They took me to this HUGE
Wal-Mart store. There was a display of cookie
boxes that I couldn't believe! The display was
in a pyramid shape with at least 100 boxes as
the base. I had to stand back and wonder how
many boxes were in the whole display. I
imagine when they started building the
display it might have looked like the pictures
below. How many boxes of cookies are in a
display with a base of 5 boxes? 10 boxes? Can
you come up with a rule for finding the
number of boxes in a display that is 100 boxes
in the base like the one I saw????
1 box base
2 box base
3 box base
