A snail kite is a kind of bird that eats apple snails. On the first day, a snail kite ate 3 snails. Then it eats 2 more snails than it did the day before. How many apple snails in all did a snail kite eat for 5 days?
On the second day, the snail kite ate 3 + 2 = <<3+2=5>>5 apple snails.
On the third day, the snail kite ate 5 + 2 = <<5+2=7>>7 apple snails.
On the fourth day, the snail kite ate 7 + 2 = <<7+2=9>>9 apple snails.
On the fifth day, the snail kite ate 9 + 2 = <<9+2=11>>11 apple snails.
The snail kite ate a total of 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 = <<3+5+7+9+11=35>>35 apple snails in 5
days.
