Question

The new movie increased in popularity every week. The first weekend, 60 people saw it. The second weekend, 180 people saw it. The third weekend, 540 people saw it. If the pattern continues then how many people saw it on the forth weekend?

Answer 1

Answer: 1620

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the question, we would.use a geometric progression to solve the question. This is given as;

= ar^n-1

where

a = first term = 60

r = ratio = 180/60 = 3

4th term = ar^n-1 = ar^4-1 = ar^3

= 60 × 3^3

= 60 × 27

= 1620
