Question

Purse A which contains $1,000 today. If you leave it alone, it will contain $1,200 tomorrow (by magic). The next day, it will have $1,400. This pattern of $200 additional dollars per day will continue. Purse B which contains 1 penny today. Leave that penny in there, because tomorrow it will (magically) turn into 2 pennies. The next day, there will be 4 pennies. The amount in the purse will continue to double each day. How much money will be in each purse after a week? After two weeks? The genie later added that he will let the money in each purse grow for three weeks. How much money will be in each purse then? Which purse contains more money after 30 days?

Answer 1

Answer:

Purse A will contain 2400 (by magic) and Purse B will have 64 pennies

Step-by-step explanation:

how this happened is, by magic Purse A went up by 200 every day for 7 days a week. 7*200 would be 1400 so you add that to the money from today and get 2400. Purse B somehow got from 1 penny to 64 in 7 days. The rule on this is to multiply by 2 every day. 1,2,4,8,16,32 and 64. have fun with your magic :3
