    tn = 2097152 pennies tn = 20971.52 dollars.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    A surprisingly large amount of money.

    The question is "Does the amount of money just double or do the previous amounts add to the present amount?"

    I think it just doubles. Not only that, but she can't spend any of it until night 22 is reached.

    tn = a*2^ (n - 1) a = 1 She starts with 1 penny. n = 22 tn = 1*2^ (22 - 1) tn = 1*2^21 tn = 2097152 pennies tn = 20971.52 dollars.
