Answer:

a₁ = 250

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the given values in the formula for the sum of a geometric series, and solve for the unknown.

S₆ = a₁×(1 -r⁶)/(1 -r) . . . . sum of 6 terms of a geometric series

922.32 = a₁×(1 -(4/5)⁶)/(1 -4/5) = a₁×5×(1 -4096/15625) = a₁×11529/3125

922.32×3125/11529 = a₁ = 250 . . . . divide by the coefficient of a₁

In a sale, normal prices are reduced by 17%. The normal price of a washing machine is reduced by £42.50

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer: The original price of washing machine is $250.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Rate of decline in normal prices = 17%

Amount of normal price reduced by = $42.50

Let the original price be x

According to question,

$\frac{17}{100}\times x=42.50\\\\x=\frac{100}{17}\times 42.50\\\\x=\$250$

Hence, The original price of washing machine is $250.
