Aaron borrows 150.00 from Austin. he promised to pay back the money in 4 monthly installments. each month he wants to pay half the amount he paid the previous month. how much should Aaron pay the 1st month

he would want to pay 80

Step-by-step explanation:

if you think about it he wants to pay half of the amount he paid for last month so its basically a trial and error/ guess and check question so i started with 15 and went 15+30 because half of 30 is 15 so you would multiply by 2 so 15+30= 45+60, 60 being half of 30 45+60= 105+120, again half is 60 105+120= 225 once i found out 15 was not correct i then tried the number 10. 10+20= 30+40=70+80= 150

i hope this helps you
