Mr. Anderson gives his daughter Ava two choices of payment to rake the leaves on their front yard. Method 1: $2 for each bag of leaves filled Method 2: $0.02 for one bag $0.04 for two bags, $0.08 for three bags, and so on, with the amount doubling for each additional bag filled.



Answer :

Method 1: $2 for each bag of leaves filled

Let the bag of leaves filled = x

For, one bag of leaves raked, the cost will be $2

Let c = total cost

C = 2x

when x = 2

C = 2 * 2

C = $4

when x = 3

C = 2 * 3

C = $6

when x = 4

C = 2 * 4

C = $8

Therefore, the cost to raked bag of leaves will keep increasing as the number of bag of leaves increases

Therefore,

when x = 5

C = $10

when x = 6

C = $12

When x = 7

C = $14

Method 2:

One bag is raked for $0.02

Two bags is reaked for $0.04

Three bags is raked for $0.08

This implies that, that the amount for each bag is doubled as the number of bags increases.
