Answer:

S₃ = 37

Step-by-step explanation:

given a₁ = 16 and r = $\frac{3}{4}$ , then

a₂ = a₁ × $\frac{3}{4}$ = 16 × $\frac{3}{4}$ = 12

a₃ = a₂ × $\frac{3}{4}$ = 12 × $\frac{3}{4}$ = 9

then

S₃ = a₁ + a₂ + a₃ = 16 + 12 + 9 = 37

Two burgers and one hotdog cost $4.82. At the same price ,one burger and two hotdogs cost $3.70. How much does a hotdog cost?

STatiana [176]

Hello!

Let's use 'x' to represent the cost of the burger, and 'y' to represent the cost of the hotdog.

2x + y = 482

× + 2y = 370

2x + 47 = 740

-3y = -258

y = 86 cents

2x + 86 = 482

2x = 396

x = 198

A burger costs $1.98 and a hot dog costs $.86

I hope this didn't confuse you, I'm not very good at explaining!
