If you already have 1 cent in the piggy bank and Dad gives you 1 cent the first day, 2 cents the second day, 4 cents the third day and so on, then your piggy bank gets full on the 13th day. 1. On which day will your piggy bank be half-full? For example, type 6 if your answer is 6th day.

D Correct answer
Explanation

Since the money doubles every day and the piggy bank fills up completely on the 13th day, it means that on the preceding day, which is the 12th day, the piggy bank was exactly half as full. Doubling that half-full amount on day 13 fills it completely.
