1. Objective: You will learn what deductions come out of your paycheck
An employee starting a new job has the option to choose how he is paid for the first twenty days of work. He works five days a week, for four full weeks. Make the best choice for the new employee after comparing the two options. Then, justify your answer.
Payment Option 1:
For the first twenty days of work, the new employee will be paid $500 a day.
Payment Option 2:
The pay will be $0.01 for the first day. Each day the pay will double. So, it will be $0.02 the second day, $0.04 the third day, $0.08 the fourth day, etc. By the end of twenty days, how much money will the employee have made?

2. Double the Salary Payment Option 1: Payment Option 2:
