In a contest, each finalist must answer 5 questions correctly. Each question is worth twice as much as the question before it. The fifth question is worth $1,600. How much is the first question worth?
Alrighty. If each question is worth twice as much, we must divide 1,600 into 2, which is 800. 800/2 is 400 400/2 is 200 200/2 is 100 Now, after we divide 100/2 we get 50. In conclusion, the first question was 50 dollars. Hope it helps!
