If the population doubles every 20 minutes, and the can is full at 6:00PM, then the can must have been half full 20 minutes before 6:00PM or 5:40PM 

<span>Likewise the can is: </span>
<span>Full at 6:00PM </span>
<span>Half full at 6:00-0:20 = 5:40PM </span>
<span>1/4 full at 5:40 - 0:20 = 5:20PM </span>
<span>1/8 full at 5:20 - 0:20 = 5:00PM </span>
<span>1/16 full at 5:00 - 0:20 = 4:40PM</span>

What do we mean when we refer to a school's sticker price?
jekas [21]
The "sticker price" is the absurd value you are told you have to pay before receiving any form of financial aid, such as FAFSA, scholarships, grants, etc. This number is usually extremely high, and accounts for dorming, approximate supply costs, tuition, as well as additional fees.
