Answer 1

255.50

Explanation:

If each day the number is doubled, then all you must do is keep on doubling to the ninth day and then add it all together

Answer 2

day 1 each student is given $0.50
day 2- $1.00
day 3- $2.00
this means every day the amount each student is given doubles from the day before.
day 4- $4.00
day 5- $8.00
day 6- $16.00
day 7- $32.00
day 8- $64.00
day 9- $128.00
