Jose wants to buy a cellphone that costs P 16,000.00. His mother always teaches him the value of saving. She challenges Jose to save first
his P1,000.00 instead of buying a new pair of pants. At the end of the week, she promises to double his money. If Jose still saves his money at the end
of the second week, his mother will again double the amount. This will
continue until Jose will have enough amount to buy the cellphone.

If Jose will save continuously, how much will his money be at the end of third week? On what week can he afford to buy the cellphone?
