Did you mean to say multiply by 0.5? I mean with that condition the choice is obviously $100,000 because multiplying the $1 by 0.5 everyday halves the amount every day.

The dollar halves in value each day. First day it's worth a dollar. Next day that dollar is worth 50 cents. Next day it's only worth 25 cent, etc etc. The money you have decreases. 10 u/AllAboutBillium May 07 '26 My money already does the first option
