We have recently had the opportunity to take four Year 7 and 8 students to participate in the 2023 HICES Maths Tournament at Oran Park Anglican College. They had fun competing against many other schools, learning to work together to solve challenging problems.
Here's one of the problems. Can you solve it?
Gerry puts $5 in his piggy bank in the first week, and then adds $1 more each week after that. In the second week he adds $6, in the third $7, etc. How much money does he have in total at the end of the year?
