: In a television game show, there are five questions to answer. Each question is worht twice as much as the previous question. If the last question was worth $6400, what was the first question worth? This question is from textbook
You can put this solution on YOUR website! let x be the original value of the 1st question so you
start with x and then double the value of each next question so the 2nd question would be worth 2x, the third would be 2(2x)=4x, the 4th worth 2(4x)=8x and the 5th worth 2(8x)=16x. so if the 5th question is worth 6400 and it took 16 time the original value to get there, then 16x=6400 solving for x the original value we get $400
answer: $400
