Terry spent 6$ for breakfast on Monday, twice as much on Tuesday, and on Wednesday Terry spent double what he did the previous two days combined. How much did Terry spend total? Give me reasons, before answering the question
Monday: 6$. Tuesday:6(2) = 12$. Wednesday:2(6 + 12) = 36$. Total:6 + 12 + 36 = 54$. So the final answer is 54.
