Isabella save to Nichols a day if she doubles the number of nickels she says each day how many days in cluding today will it take her to save more than 500

Respuesta :

Answer:

9 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Given isabella saves a nickel a day.From this day onwards she kept on incresing the savings by doubling them.

Here it form's a geometric progression with first term(a) = 1 and common ratio (r) = 2

S(n) = [tex]a(\frac{r^{n}-1 }{r-1} )[/tex]

Given condition is S(n) >500

[tex]\frac{2^{n}-1 }{2-1}>500[/tex]

[tex]2^{n}>501[/tex]

n ≥ 9

So it will take 9 days for her savings to be more than 500
