Question: You save $3 on Monday. Each day after that you save twice as much as you saved the day before. If this pattern continues, how much would you save on Friday?

You need to know that you save $3 on Monday. Then you need to know that you always save twice as much as you find the day before.

2) PLAN:

How can you solve the problem?

You can make a table like the one below. List the amount of money you save each day. Remember to double the number each day.


 * Day || Amount of Money Saved ||
 * Monday || $3 ||
 * Tuesday || $6 ||
 * Wednesday || $12 ||
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 140%;">Thursday || <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 140%;">$24 ||
