A very famous person is moving to town! a boy saw the moving truck and told four people about this. each of these four people told another four people, and so on. assuming that only new people hear this story at each step, how many people will know the story after 14 steps (excluding the boy and very famous person)?

Respuesta :

Answer

number of people = 4 ^ (steps) (utilize power of exponents)

= 4^14

= 268,435,456

= 268,435,456 - 2 (exclude original boy and famous person)

= 268,435,454

how many people will know the story after 14 steps = 268,435,454
