Question

Chase scored 11 points on Monday, and he doubled his score each day thereafter. How many points did he score on Friday?

Answer 1

The answer would be 55.

Since it is 5 days from Monday to Friday. You would have to do 11 points times 5.

Answer 2

He scored 176 on Friday.

Explanation:

Given,

The score on Monday = 11

Also, the score is doubled his score each day thereafter.

Therefore, the score on Tuesday = 2 × the score on Monday = 2 × 11 = 22,

Similarly,

The score on Wednesday = 2 × 22 = 44,

The score on Thursday = 2 × 44 = 88

The score on Friday = 2 × 88 = 176

Hence, he scored 176 on Friday.
