Question

What is the pattern for the numbers in the X column to the numbers in the Y column?

Answer

Each X value is multiplied by to get the Y value.

$2\times4=8$

$4\times4=16$

$6\times4=24$

$8\times4=32$

To find the rule, you may have to do some trial and error. The most important thing to remember is, once you think you have the rule, make sure to test the rule with all of the X values.

Question

Madison invests $1,500 in the stock market. After one year, Madison's initial amount of money doubles! Because of her prior success, she invests another $1,000 into the stock market. After this additional investment, how much money does Madison have in the stock market?

Answer

Madison begins with $1,500. Because her initial investment doubles, we need to multiply the beginning amount of money by two!

$1,500\times 2 = 3,000$

Now, Madison has $3,000 in the stock market. Because of her success, she decides to put in another $1,000, which means we need to add that to $3,000 to get the correct answer ($4,000)!
