Question

Confused :/
A maple tree loses 384 leaves during the first week of fall, and 1.5 times as many on each successive week. At the end of 7 weeks, all the leaves have fallen. How many leaves fell from the tree?

Answer 1

All you have to do is just 384 + 384*1.5x

x = week

Answer 2

so 384 + 384*1.5(7) = ?

(Fill in the question mark)

Answer 3

4416?

Answer 4

Yes, 4416 leaves have fallen off the tree after 7 weeks.
