ANSWER

\begin{gathered} a_n=ar^{n\text{ - 1}} \\ a_8\text{ = \$38.26} \end{gathered}

EXPLANATION

The problem represents a geometric progression.

The general form of a geometric sequence is:

a_n=ar^{n\text{ - 1}}

where a = first term

r = common ratio

The first term from the table is the first price (for the first month). That is $80.00

To find the common ratio, we divide a term by its preceeding term.

Let us divide the price of the second month from the first.

We have:

\begin{gathered} r\text{ = }\frac{72}{80} \\ r\text{ = 0.9} \end{gathered}

The price after the 8th month is the value of a(n) when n = 8

So, we have that:

\begin{gathered} a_8\text{ = 80 }\cdot0.9^{(8\text{ - 1)}} \\ a_8\text{ = 80 }\cdot0.9^7 \\ a_8\text{ = \$38.26} \end{gathered}

I don’t get it. Please help thanks

Answer:

$2,410.69

Step-by-step explanation:

$1,950 x 1.15 = $2,242.50 after 15% markup

$2,242.50 x 1.075 = $2,410.68 after the 7.5% sales tax.


or you can do:


$1,950 x 0.15 = $292.5 markup

$1,950 + $292.5 = $2,242.50

$2,242.50 x 0.075 = $168.19 for sales tax

$2,242.50 + $168.19 = $2,410.69 total
