Imagine your family agreed to give you some pocket money every day for a month! You can choose from the following options:

  1. £10 every day
  2. £3 on the first day, £3.50 on the second, £4 on the third, and so on, increasing by 50p per day
  3. 1p on the first day, 2p on the second, 4p on the third, and so on, doubling each day.

Without doing any working out, which one would you choose, and why?

    I would choose 1p doubling every day because in £10 per day will give you £300 and 1 penny doubling every day will give you way more money.
