Question

Kara scores 3 points when she completes the first level of a video game. At each level after that she scores 3 times the amount awarded at the previous level. If she completes 4, how many points does she score in all?

Answer 1

120

Explanation:

If Kara earns 3 times as many points completing the next level than she earned the previous level, to find how many points she earned at level 3, triple the amount of points earned in level 2, which is 9.

9 × 3 = 27

We can confirm this is the correct value by multiplt 27 by 3 to see if it equals 81, which it ineed does.

To find how many points she scored in all, find the sum by adding all of the points together.

3 + 9 + 27 + 81 = 120

She scores 120 points in all.

hope this helps!
