The number is 6.25.

We will set up an equation for this.  Let x be the unknown number.  Subtracting 1.05 from it gives us

(x-1.05)

Multiplying the difference by 0.8 would give us

0.8(x-1.05)

Adding 2.84 to the product would give us

0.8(x-1.05)+2.84

Dividing the sum by 0.01 would give us

[0.8(x-1.05)+2.84]/0.01 = 700

We will start working backward, cancelling the division by 0.01 first by multiplying:

([0.8(x-1.05)+2.84]/0.01)*0.01 = 700*0.01

0.8(x-1.05)+2.84 =7

Subtract 2.84 from both sides:
0.8(x-1.05)+2.84-2.84 = 7-2.84
0.8(x-1.05) = 4.16

Use the distributive property on the left side:
0.8*x - 0.8*1.05 = 4.16
0.8x - 0.84 = 4.16

Add 0.84 to both sides:
0.8x - 0.84+0.84 = 4.16+0.84
0.8x = 5

Divide both sides by 0.8:
0.8x/0.8 = 5/0.8
x = 6.25

In arithmetic sequence the first term is 5 and the common difference is 4. Determine the 6th term of sequence
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

The 6th term of the sequence is 25

Step-by-step explanation:

first term = a = 5

common difference = d = 4

The nth term of a sequence is

T_n = a + (n - 1)d

Therefore, the 6th term of the sequence is

T_6 = a + (6 - 1)d

T_6 = a + 5d

T_6 = 5 + 5(4)

T_6 = 5 + 20

T_6 = 25

To decrease an amount by 7%, what single multiplier would you use?
Fofino [41]

To decrease something at 100% by 7% is:

100% - 7% = 93%

You multiply the original value by 0.93 to decrease it from it's original value by 7%
