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.

Please check the explanation below.
Step-by-step explanation:
Some of the properties are defined as:
- <em>Distributive property</em>
For example,
suppose a=3, b=4, c=5
3(4+5) = 3(4) + 3(5)
3(9) = 12+15
27 = 27
- <em>Subtraction property of Equality</em>
if (a=b), then a-c = b-c
For example,
suppose a=2, b=2, c=5
if a = b ⇒ 2 = 2
then a-c = b-c ⇒ 2-5 = 2- 5 ⇒ -3 = -3
- <em>Addition property of Equality</em>
if (a=b), then a+c = b+c
For example,
suppose a=2, b=2, c=5
if a = b ⇒ 2 = 2
then a+c = b+c ⇒ 2+3 = 2+3 ⇒ 5 = 5
- <em>Multiplicative property of Equality</em>
if (a=b), then a×c = b×c
For example,
suppose a=2, b=2, c=5
if a = b ⇒ 2 = 2
then a×c = b×c ⇒ 2×5 = 2 × 5 ⇒ 10 = 10
- <em>Division property of Equality</em>
if (a=b), then a÷c = b÷c
For example,
suppose a=2, b=2, c=5
if a = b ⇒ 2 = 2
then a÷c = b÷c ⇒ 2÷5 = 2 ÷ 3 ⇒ 2/5 = 2/5
Let us solve the given equation using the above properties.
7n-16=47 Given
7n-16+16=47+16 1) Addtion property of Equality ∵ if (a=b), then a+c = b+c
7n=63 2) simplify
n = 9 3) Division property of Equality ∵ if (a=b), then a÷c = b÷c
