Question

deon was offered a job at the nearby recreation center. the owner offered him $600 per week or $50 the first day and agreed to double it for each following day. how could deon make the most money?

Answer 1

He could make more with the 600 because with 5th 50 he would only get 350 dollars a week

Answer 2

second offer of $50 on first day and double it for each following day

Explanation:

He can make more money by accepting the 2nd offer

which is $50 the first and doubling the each following day

in this way we would make 50, 100, 200, 400, 800, and so on on each subsequent days of the week adding them we get about $1550 till the 5th day itself.

which is way higher than $600 per week. Hence he should opt for 2nd option
