Question

In a game, a contestant had a starting score of one point. He tripled his score every turn for four turns. Write his score after four turns as a power. Then find his score.

Answer 1

4 to the power of  1 i think thats the answer

Answer 2

If you start with one point and triple it, you get 3. And three tripled is nine, and nine tripled is 27. And 27 tripled is 81.
1) 3

2)9

3) 27

4) 81

So writing his score after four turns is simple. 3 tripled four times is 3 to the fourth power, wich as you can see from above is 81.
