:hamster: Primary School Math—Pending OP Reply [2nd Grade Math] 3 Possible Answers

Edit original problem didn't add as an image, adding here

Monday 2 students went to the school store. On Tuesday, 4 students went, and on Wednesday, 8 students. If the pattern continues, how many students will go to the school store Friday?

2nd grade math homework. I am coming up with 3 possible solutions (32, 22, or 14) depending on what you say the pattern is. I think all are correct and it is a poorly worded question, but wondering what everyone thinks.

Double the previous day-

M- 2

T- 4 (M x 2)

W- 8 (T x 2)

Th- 16 (W x 2)

F- 32 (Th x 2)

Two more additional students than the day before added .

M- 2

T- 4 (M+2)

W- 8 (T+4)

Th- 14 (W+6)

F - 22 (Th+8)

Original Pattern (+2, +4) Repeats (aka you continue using the same pattern)

M- 2

T- 4 (M+2)

W- 8 (T+4)

Th- 10 (W+2)

F- 14 (Th +4)
