ANSWER : 1
Descrption
<p style="margin-left:0px;">Let,</p><p style="margin-left:0px;">Number of people got on at the first stop = x</p><p style="margin-left:0px;"> After the first stop, people left on the bus = (1/2)*x </p><p style="margin-left:0px;">At the second stop, (1/2)*x people get off, leaving (1/2)<i>x</i>(1/2) = (1/4)*x people on the bus.</p><p style="margin-left:0px;">At the third stop, (1/4)*x people get off, leaving (1/4)<i>x</i>(1/2) = (1/8)*x people on the bus.</p><p style="margin-left:0px;">This pattern continues until the seventh stop, where only one person gets off the bus.</p><p style="margin-left:0px;">So, at the seventh stop, there are (1/2)^6 * x = (1/64) * x people on the bus.</p><p style="margin-left:0px;">Since there's only one person left on the bus at the seventh stop, we can set up the equation:</p><p style="margin-left:0px;">(1/64) * x = 1</p><p style="margin-left:0px;">Now, let's solve for x:</p><p style="margin-left:0px;">x = 1 * 64 x = 64</p><p style="margin-left:0px;"> </p><p style="margin-left:auto;"> </p><p style="margin-left:auto;"> </p><p><br> </p><p style="margin-left:auto;"> </p><p style="margin-left:auto;"><br> </p>
