You are starting a new job and are told that your pay will be $3 on the first day. each day after that, your pay will double until you reach the amount of $96. starting from the first day, on what day will you reach $96?

day six. A=3, b=2, t=0 to t=5, covering 6 days. $3, $6, $12, $24, $48, $96.

Step-by-step explanation:

. A is the starting amount at t=0. b is the base, two because the amount doubles each day. b would be 3 if it tripled every day. t is the final day number, counting from zero.

We can also do this with units included.

Obviously the unit for A is dollars, and t is in days. But what is the unit for b?

Well, the amount doubles once _per day_. So try b = 2 per day = 2/day. That doesn't work. The correct value for b including units is

.

So if you wanted to express time in weeks while still doubling once per day, you would multiply by a value equivalent to one, , and cancel units:

.

x=30

step-by-step explanation:

3

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
