Answer:
a
Step-by-step explanation:
Amount of tax paid = 43-40 = 3
Tax rate = 3/40 = 0.75
0.75 x 100 = 7.5%
Tax rate = 7.5%
N=1→an=a1 (first term)=16 (on the graph for n=1)→First term = 16
n=2→an=a2 (second term) = 4 (on the graph for n=2)→Second term = 4
ratio=(Second term)/(First term)=a2/a1=4/16
Simplifying the fraction dividing the numerator (4) by 4 and the denominator (16) by 4:
ratio=(4/4)/(16/4)→ratio=1/4
Answer: Option A. First term = 16, ratio = 1/4
Let Y = total cost of both schools.
The total cost would be ( number of credits at Westside x 98) + (number of credits at Pinewood x 115).
The total number of credits he is taking is 14.
If w is the number of credits at Westside, then for Westside you have 98w ( $98 times the number of credit hours)
The equation is now y = 98w + (number of credits at Pinewood x 115).
The number of credit hours at Pinewood would be the total credit hours 14 minus the credit hours at Westside w, so you have 14-w, which needs to be multiplied by the cost at Pinewood.
The equation is now y = 98w + 115(14-w)
This can be simplified using the distributive property to:
Y = 98w + 1610 - 115w
Y = -17w + 1610
I would say that the answer is probably 40
