Read the story first, then answer.
Mia and Leo plant coinsGran gave Mia and Leo sixteen pretend coins each. A pretend garden added one new coin for every two coins in it each year. Mia planted her sixteen coins today. Leo kept his in a pouch for two years. In year one Mia's garden added eight coins and held twenty-four. In year two it added twelve and held thirty-six. Then Leo planted his sixteen coins. In year three Mia's garden added eighteen, so it held fifty-four, and Leo's added eight and held twenty-four. In year four Mia's added twenty-seven, making eighty-one, and Leo's added twelve and held thirty-six. Each had planted just sixteen coins. The only difference was when they started.
