He should accept the $50 the first day and double deal because after a week he would make $3,200. This is how he would make the most money

Deon should accept the second option.

Step-by-step explanation:

The owner offered Deon $600 dollars per week.

or $50 the first day and agreed to double it for the each following day.

This becomes $50 for 1st day

$100 for second day

$200 for 3rd day

$400 for 4th day

$800 for 5th day

$1600 for 6th day

This becomes $1550 for working 5 days a week or $3150 for working 6 days a week.

Therefore, Deon should accept the second option.
