Answer:
a) 5%
b) 24%
Step-by-step explanation:
a) You buy a game for $40, and the sales tax is $2. What percent of the game price are you paying in sales tax?
Percentage you are paying in sales tax
= Sales tax / Sale price of the game × 100
= $2/$40 × 100
= 5%
b) Your doctor told you to eat 25 grams of fiber each day. You had 6 grams of fiber for breakfast. What percent of the 25 grams of fiber have you eaten so far?
The percent of 25 grams of fiber you have eaten so far =
6 grams/25 grams × 100
= 24%
A. 1/10000 because it is a 1/100 chance for each.
b. 1/100 because there are 10,000 options and 100 of them are the same options. Simplify for the answer.
Might have to experiment a bit to choose the right answer.
In A, the first term is 456 and the common difference is 10. Each time we have a new term, the next one is the same except that 10 is added.
Suppose n were 1000. Then we'd have 456 + (1000)(10) = 10456
In B, the first term is 5 and the common ratio is 3. From 5 we get 15 by mult. 5 by 3. Similarly, from 135 we get 405 by mult. 135 by 3. This is a geom. series with first term 5 and common ratio 3. a_n = a_0*(3)^(n-1).
So if n were to reach 1000, the 1000th term would be 5*3^999, which is a very large number, certainly more than the 10456 you'd reach in A, above.
Can you now examine C and D in the same manner, and then choose the greatest final value? Safe to continue using n = 1000.
