To determine how much money you will receive after completing a certain number of lawns, we can use an exponential formula. In this case, the payment doubles for each job completed.
Let's break down the calculation step by step:
1. Start with the given payment for the first job, which is 2 pennies.
2. Determine the number of lawns completed. Let's call this variable "n".
3. Use the formula for exponential growth: payment = initial payment * (2 ^ n), where "^" denotes exponentiation.
In this formula, "initial payment" refers to the payment for the first job (2 pennies).
Now, let's calculate the payment for different scenarios:
- For 2 lawns:
- n = 2 (since you completed 2 lawns)
- payment = 2 * (2 ^ 2) = 2 * 4 = 8 pennies
- For 3 lawns:
- n = 3 (since you completed 3 lawns)
- payment = 2 * (2 ^ 3) = 2 * 8 = 16 pennies
So, after completing 2 lawns, you will receive a total of 8 pennies, and after completing 3 lawns, you will receive 16 pennies.
