Question

Your parents give you 1 cent to clean up your kitchen on Aug. 15. They will double the amount of money they give you on the following day(Aug.16, 2 cents, Aug. 17, 4 cents....) They continue to double the amount and give you money everyday. How much money will you make from Aug 15 to Aug 31? Is it a good deal?

Answer 1

It is a great deal. First of all you should list the days so that it is easier. You have 17 days. Every day you basically double your money, which will get you into a total sum of 737.28. Hopefully this helped!

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Aug

15 = 1     26 = 23.04    Total $737.28 that's a great deal

16 = 2    27 = 46.08

17 = 4    28 =  92.16

18 = 8    29 =  184.32

19 = 16   30 = 368.64

20 = 36   31 = 737.28

21  = 72  

22 = 1.44

23 = 2.88

24 = 5.76

25 = 11.52
