Money that is collecting interest in a bank account doubles in value

every 10 years.
When the account was opened, it had 16, or 24 dollars in it. After 50
years, the account balance has doubled 5 times, increasing by a factor
of 25.
It now has a balance of 24. 25. Expressed as a power, how much
money, in dollars, is in the account after 50 years?

It’s an entirely different answer whether it has 16 or 24 dollars in it, so I’ll do both

For 16 it’s 512
For 24 it’s 768
