To save money, Scrooge is reusing tea bags. After a first ‘decent’ cup of tea, he dries the bag and uses two such dried bags to make a new ‘decent’ cup of tea. These bags are then dried again and four such bags now make a ‘decent’ cup of tea. After that they are put on the compost heap. How many ‘decent’ cups of tea can Scrooge get out of a new box of 120 tea bags?
