In an arithmetic series, the value of the nth term is calculated using the equation,
an = ao + (n - 1)(d)
where an and ao are the nth and the 1st term, respectively. d is the common difference, and n is the number of terms.
In the given, an = 48, a0 = 93, d = -5 and n is unknown. Substituting the known values,
48 = 93 + (n - 1)(-5)
The value of n from the equation is 10. Thus, the answer is the last choice.
Let the total number of questions in the math test be defined by the variable x.
Now, we know that Parker correctly answered 35 questions. These 35 questions make 70% of the total number of questions on his math test.
The information we have above can be expressed as an equation given below:
70% of x=35
This can be rewritten as:
Thus, to find the total number of questions we will have to isolate x.
Therefore, there were a total of 50 questions in the math test.
"if you break down a $1 bill, it is 4 quarters. If you add the 4 quarters to the other 3 then you will get the sum of 7."
Hope this helps!
<span>The price for the three bags of chips is (3 x 2.50) - 2.50/2, because one of the bags will have 50% off. This makes $6.25. Divide this by 100 to find 1%, then multiply by 5 to find 5% — this tells you the amount of sales tax to add on. (6.25/100) x 5 = 0.31 to two decimal places. The final amount for the total purchase is 6.25 + 0.31 = $6.56.</span>
