Salary Options Option 1 60,000 Baht a day
Option 2 You make 1 baht the first day, 2 baht the second day, 4 baht the third day, 8 baht the fourth day, etc (for 30 days)
I would choose option 2 because mathematically when number get multiply by two every single time the total amount of salary at the end will be very high. I have done things similar to this before so, I know that option 2 will end up with a higher amount of salary for sure.
Option 1 Algebraically: y = 60000x This is slope-intercept form y=mx + b with mx as the slope and b as the y-intercept. 60000x represent how each day goes up in a constant rate. There is no y-intercept except 0 in this graph because it start at 0 or the origin. This is the graph for option one with a constant rate of 60000. This graph represent each day earning more money at a constant rate of 6oooo. It start with day 0 and end with day 30 with 1800000 in total amount of salary
Option 1
Day 1
Day 10
Day 20
Day 30
60,000
600,000
1,200,000
1,800,000
Option 2 Algebraically: 2^d-1 (d = the number of days) D is numbers of days so as an example when it the 3 day it will be 2^3-1 = 4 This is the graph for option 2 starting from day 0 to day 30. There is no constant rate with only multiple by 2 of the previous amount of salary
Option 2
Day 1
Day 10
Day 20
Day 30
1
512
524,288
536,870,912
Which Salary is Better? Option 2
Option 1 Total pay after 30 days: 1,800,000
Total pay after 30 days: 536,870,912
Option 2 get more salary
Reflection What was difficult for you: It was difficult to finish this assignment in a limited time with many other subject summative due at the same time. Finding and explaining algebraically for option 2 because it is more difficult than option 1. What you learned: I learned that if you have low salary in the beginning and keep on waiting you could end up having a lot of salary. I would really like to have this salary option in the future. What you might do differently: I want to try to find a different ways to find algebraically how to find the total salary of option 2. I would like to see more ways that is simpler and easier to understand.
