John is a high school student who is taking 8 courses during the school year. In order to motive him, John’s parents came up with two awarding plans from which he can choose. Plan 1 pays John $100 for every A he gets. Plan 2 starts with $3 on the first A, and every A thereafter the amount tripled. Identify the function(s) that models the two plans and determine which one John should choose.

Please read about posting Homework. YOU need to show your work first. Plan 1 how much could he get, pretty basic a x b=. Plan 2 is more difficult, you need to start thinking on this one. What happens each time?(amount tripled). I know what I would choose, assuming I would get all A's.
