The value of the power $3^5=243$

Explanation of Solution

Given information: Given

Calculation:

First stage: $3=3^t$ emails

Second stage: $3\cdot 3=3^2$ emails

Third stage: $3\cdot 3\cdot 3=3^3$ emails

So the fifth stage would have $3^5$ emails.

That is,

  $3\cdot 3\cdot 3\cdot 3\cdot 3=243$ Emails

  $3^5=243$

Thus, the value of the power $3^5=243$
