This task is about solving maths problems involving powers.
Uncle Tipene, who likes maths, agreed to pay Ana to babysit. He said she would get paid using the formula 2n (2 to the power of n) dollars, where n is the number of hours that Ana worked. This meant that if Ana worked for 5 hours, she would get paid 32 dollars.
