Question

Simon spends £28 over 7 days. Each day, he spends 50p more than the previous day.

Answer 1

This is about conversion of currencies.

He spent £25 on the first day.

• We are told he had spent £28 over 7 days.

Each day, he spends 50 pence more than the previous day. This means that;

• From conversion,

1 pound = 100 pence

Thus, 50 pence = (50 × 1)/100 = £0.5

• If the money he spent on the first day is £x.

• On second day, he would have spent a total of; £(x + 0.5)

• On third day; x + 0.5 + 0.5= x + 1

• On fourth day; x + 1 + 0.5 = x + 1.5

• On fifth day; x + 1.5 + 0.5 = x + 2

• On sixth day; x + 2 + 0.5 = x + 2.5

• On seventh day; x + 2.5 + 0.5 = x + 3

• Thus; x + 3 = 28

x = 28 - 3

x = £25
