Answer 1

D is the answer it must be it

Answer 2

If you already know that you have . . .

1$ after week 1
2$ after week 2
4$ after week 3
8$ after week 4

. . . You can then tell that every week the money you save doubles (times 2)

So to continue . . . .
16$ after week 5
32$ after week 6
64$ after week 7
128$ after week 8
256$ after week 9
512$ after week 10

You will then know that after ten weeks u will have 512$ which is answer choice D.

Hope this helps! :)
