Sequences: Consecutive Integers - Counting Consecutive Multiples within a Range
Before the summer holidays, Bill got 100 mathematics exercises for homework. During the first week of his vacation, Bill worked out exercises number 1 to 5, 35 to 40, and 76 to 100. If Bill finished working out all his homework on the second week of the vacation, how many exercises did he complete on the second week?

Calculate the number of exercises that Bill has already done:
>1 to 5: There are $$5-1+1 = 5$$ exercises.
>35 to 40: There are $$40-35+1 = 6$$ exercises.
>76 to 100: There are $$100-76+1 = 25$$ exercises.
Therefore, Bill has done $$5 + 6 + 25 = 36$$ exercises. Subtract this from the total number of exercises:
>$$100 - 36 = 64$$.
Hence, this is the correct answer.
66
65
64
36
34
