Question

During a 5-day training at your department, the number of visitors tripled each day. If the training started on a Monday with 345 attendees, what was the attendance on Thursday?

Answer 1

9315 people

Explanation:

Tuesday:

345*3= 1035

Wednesday

1035*3=3105

Thursday

3105*3=9315

The easier way:

There are 3 days from monday until thursday. This means that you will have to multiply 3 three times, or 3^3

345*(3^3)=9315

Answer 2

During a 5-day festival, the number of visitors tripled each day. If the festival opened on a Thursday with 345 visitors, what was the attendance on that Sunday? 9315 is the answer I need to know the equation

---------------------

Thurs = 345

Fri = 345*3

Sat = 345*3*3

Sun = 345*3*3*3

------------------------

EQUATION:

Attendance = 345*3^x where x is the number of days after the 1st day
