You can put this solution on YOUR website! A monster came to life and ate every plant in its path, causing it to grow out of control.
Each day it doubled in volume. At 8 a.m. on January 14th, it was seen by
fishermen who estimated its volume to be a blob of about 200 cubic feet.
For five days it grew and nothing could stop it. Finally, on January 19th,
it died, What was its volume when it died?
:
A = Ao*2^t
Where
Ao = initial amt (200 cu/ft)
t = time in days (5 days)
A = resulting amt after t days
:
A = 200*2^5
A = 6400 cu ft
