<span>Let a_0 = 100, the first payment. Every subsequent payment is the prior payment, times 1.1. In order to represent that, let a_n be the term in question. The term before it is a_n-1. So a_n = 1.1 * a_n-1. This means that a_19 = 1.1*a_18, a_18 = 1.1*a_17, etc. To find the sum of your first 20 payments, this sum is equal to a_0+a_1+a_2+...+a_19. a_1 = 1.1*a_0, so a_2 = 1.1*(1.1*a_0) = (1.1)^2 * a_0, a_3 = 1.1*a_2 = (1.1)^3*a_3, and so on. So the sum can be reduced to S = a_0 * (1+ 1.1 + 1.1^2 + 1.1^3 + ... + 1.1^19) which is approximately $5727.50</span>
First you need to multiply 36 *$30.22=$1087.92
This gives you the total amount paid
Then subtract 1087.92-900=187.92
This gives you the amount of money you paid in finance charges.
Are you trying to set up the equation?
the equation: 24(2)+6=n
Total tickets sold = 159
Total sales = $1100.60
Child admission = $5.20
Adult admission = $8.90
Assumed all 159 tickets are Child admission tickets
Total sales = 159 x 5.2 = $826.80
Difference in amount = $1100.60 - $826.80 = $273.80
The difference must be contributed by the Adult Admission Tickets, which has a difference of $8.90 - $5.20 = $3.70
$273.80 ÷ $3.70 = 74 adult tickets
159 - 74 = 85 child tickets
Answer:
I think 3/4 will be the answer if you let
(-5 2) =(x1 y1)
(3 8) =( x2 y2)
y1-y2/x2-x2
8-2/3+5
6/8
3/4
