Problema Solution

Which would you rather be paid for 10 days- $100 per day for the 10 days or one dollar for the first day, $2.00 the second, $4.00 the third, $8.00 the fourth, etc., up to and including the 10th day?

Answer provided by our tutors

10*100 = 1000

1+2+4+8+16+32+64+128+256+512 = 1023.

So the second option is better.
