Oren’s dad offered him a choice of $13.00 total to buy eight newspapers, or 4 cents for the first newspaper, 8 cents for the second newspaper, 16 cents for the third newspaper, and so on up to the eighth newspaper. Which choice of payment should Oren take? Why?
Answer:
$10.20 choice of payment should Oren take because its less cost price than $13.00 offer.
Explanation:
Cost of total to buy eight newspaper Oren’s dad offered him a choice = $13.00.
Cost of first newspaper = 4 cents.
Cost of second newspaper = 8 cents.
Cost of third newspaper = 16 cents.
Cost of fourth newspaper = 32 cents.
Cost of fifth newspaper = 64 cents.
Cost of sixth newspaper = 128 cents.
Cost of seventh newspaper = 256 cents.
Cost of eighth newspaper = 512 cents.
Cost of 8 newspapers = Cost of first newspaper + Cost of second newspaper + Cost of third newspaper + Cost of fourth newspaper + Cost of fifth newspaper + Cost of sixth newspaper + Cost of seventh newspaper + Cost of eighth newspaper
= 4 cents + 8 cents + 16 cents + 32 cents + 64 cents + 128 cents + 256 cents + 512 cents
= 12cents + 16 cents + 32 cents + 64 cents + 128 cents + 256 cents + 512 cents
= 28 cents + 32 cents + 64 cents + 128 cents + 256 cents + 512 cents
= 60 cents + 64 cents + 128 cents + 256 cents + 512 cents
= 124 cents + 128 cents + 256 cents + 512 cents
= 252 cents + 256 cents + 512 cents
= 508 cents + 512 cents
= 1,020 cents.
Conversion:
1 dollar = 100 cents.
=> 1020 cents = 1020 ÷ 100
=> $10.20.
