Brianna needs to contact members of the softball league. She calls 4 members in the morning. Those 4 people each call 4 more people in the afternoon. That evening, those additional people each call 4 others. How many people are called that evening? ​

Answer:

64 people

Explanation:

in the morning, 4 people are called. Those 4 people call 4 more people, which brings it to 16 people called. Those 16 people then each call 4 others, which is 16 x 4. Giving you the answer of 64 people for the evening.

FYI, if the question asked how many people were called in total, you would add the 4 people from the morning, 16 people from the afternoon, and 64 people in the evening to get a total of 84 people called.

Hope this helps!
