Daphne pose la question :

Question from Daphne, a student:

Hi,
My name is Daphne and I am having trouble with a math problem. I am given this pattern below and asked to find an expression for the number of Bs in the nth term of the pattern. Someone please help!!!

ABBA
AABBBAA
AAABBBBAAA
AAAABBBBBAAAA

The next part asks me to find the ratio of Bs to total letters in the nth term.

Finally it says to use my expression to determine which term has exactly 35% Bs.
