Question

Tim is reading a book. On Monday he reads 3 pages. On each day after that, he reads triple the number of pages as the previous day. How many pages did Tim read on Thursday?

Answer 1

81 pages

Explanation:

To find the number of pages read on the next day, multiply the number of pages read on the previous day by 3

Number of pages read on Monday = 3 pages

Number of pages read on Tuesday = 3*3 = 9

Number of pages read on Wednesday = 9*3 = 27

Number of pages read on Thursday = 27 * 3 = 81
