Don's pays his jimmy 2.00 per hour for the first hour. He plans to pay him double for the next six hours. How much would he earn at the end of six hours?
Do you mean that the pay raise doubles each hour?

He works two and then four more for a total of six ?
2 + 4*4 = 18
I think it's:
2 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 22
for six hours work
To calculate Jimmy's earnings at the end of six hours, we need to determine the payment for each hour and then sum them up.
First, we know that Jimmy earns $2.00 per hour for the first hour. So, for the first hour, he earns $2.00.
For the next six hours, Jimmy's payment is double the initial rate. We can calculate his earnings for the next six hours as follows:
Hour 2: 2.00 x 2 = $4.00
Hour 3: 2.00 x 2 = $4.00
Hour 4: 2.00 x 2 = $4.00
Hour 5: 2.00 x 2 = $4.00
Hour 6: 2.00 x 2 = $4.00
Hour 7: 2.00 x 2 = $4.00
Now let's sum up the earnings for each hour:
$2.00 (first hour) + $4.00 (hour 2) + $4.00 (hour 3) + $4.00 (hour 4) + $4.00 (hour 5) + $4.00 (hour 6) + $4.00 (hour 7) = $26.00
Therefore, Jimmy would earn $26.00 at the end of six hours.
