Let's start by visualising this concept.
Number of grains on square:
1 2 4 8 16 ...
We can see that it starts to form a geometric sequence, with the common ratio being 2.
For the first question, we simply want the fifteenth term, so we just use the nth term geometric form:
Thus, there are 16, 384 grains on the fifteenth square.
The second question begs the same process, only this time, it's a summation. Using our sum to n terms of geometric sequence, we get:
Thus, there are 32, 767 total grains on the first 15 squares, and you should be able to work the rest from here.

Answer:
The minimum score required for an A grade is 88.
Step-by-step explanation:
Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean and standard deviation
, the zscore of a measure X is given by:
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
In this problem, we have that:
Find the minimum score required for an A grade.
Top 12%, which is at least the 100-12 = 88th percentile, which is the value of X when Z has a pvalue of 0.88. So it is X when Z = 1.175.
Rounding to the nearest whole number
The minimum score required for an A grade is 88.
