Question 515406
This here is simple math. I do not know your math level, but when you get to more advanced classes such as geometry or Adv. Algebra (Algebra 2), they will give you a simpler way to solve these types of questions. However, I'll just go over the basics.


So, your first year, you get one dollar.

$1

Your 2nd, you get two.

$1 + $2

Your 3rd you get four.

$1 + $2 + $4

Your 4th you get eight.

$1 + $2 + $4 + $8

Your 5th you get sixteen.

$1 + $2 + $4 + $8 + $16

Your 6th, you get thirty- two.

$1 + $2 + $4 + $8 + $16 + $32

7th: $64

$1 + $2 + $4 + $8 + $16 + $32 + $64

8th: $128

$1 + $2 + $4 + $8 + $16 + $32 + $64 + $128

And you continue doubling the numbers until you get to your 18th year.

In total, the answer is $131,072. [Lots of money ;)]
