Heather Marquez · Answer 1

Answer: The total number of plants given away is 14

Step-by-step explanation: First Gregory gave 2 plants, on the second year those two friends gave 2 plants each friend, then a total of 4 plants were given away. Lastly the four friends gave 2 plants each which is a total of 8 plants.

Calculation:

Year 1: 2 plants plus

Year 2: 4 plants plus

Year 3: 8 plants

Therefore the total is 14 plants.
