Ronald wanted an allowance. his father gave him a choice of getting it on a weekly or on a daily basis. He said he would either pay him $1.25 a week or pay him in the following manner for a week: On Monday he would give him $0.01; On Tuesday $0.02; On Wednesday $0.04 and on through Sunday. What would you tell Ronald to do so he can get more allowance?

Explanation:

Well the addition of ($0.01+$0.02+$0.04) would be $0.07

And he since he can get $1.25 a week if he chose the weekly option

Since $1.25>$0.07

I would tell Ronald to choose the weekly option for getting more allowance.
