9. This February and March, the middle school students had their most successful food drive, topping last year's total by 57 items. They started the food drive on day 0 with 8 cans of
fruit juice which had been donated too late to be included in the November food drive,
Contributions poured in at a constant rate of 12 food items per day. By the time the drive
was over, the cans covered the cafeteria stage.
