Danika Maxwell · Answer 1

Day 1 each student is given $0.50

day 2 - $1.00

day 3 - $2.00

this means every day the amount each student is given doubles from the day before.

day 4 - $4.00

day 5 - $8.00

day 6 - $16.00

day 7 - $32.00

day 8 - $64.00

day 9 - $128.00

so on the 9th day the students would earn $128.00

day 9 - $128.00

255.50

Step-by-step explanation:

If each day the number is doubled, then all you must do is keep on doubling to the ninth day and then add it all together
