4 0

Answer:

14,850

Step-by-step explanation:

You need the sum of

3 + 6 + 9 + 12 + ... + 294 + 297

Factor out a 3 from the sum

3 + 6 + 9 + 12 + ... + 294 + 297 = 3(1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + ... + 98 + 99)

You need to add all integers from 1 to 99 and multiply by 3.

The sum of all consecutive integers from 1 to n is:

[n(n + 1)]/2

The sum of all consecutive integers from 1 to 99 is

[99(99 + 1)]/2

The sum you need is 3 * [99(99 + 1)]/2

3 + 6 + 9 + 12 + ... + 294 + 297 =

= 3 * [99(99 + 1)]/2

= 3 * [99(100)]/2

= 3 * 9900/2

= 14,850

The answer for (a) is 28 and the answer for (b) is 13 but I don’t know how to get the answer

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If Quan had 15 and Kaden had 3 times as much, then Kaden had 15(3) = 45. If he spent 10 then he had 35 left. The amount of money Quan had after his mom gave him some was 4/5 the amount of Kaden's 35 (let x = the amount of money Quan has after his mom gives him some):

$x=\frac{4}{5}(35)$ 35 divides by the 5 in the denominator 7 times, and 7 times 4 is 28. That's how you get your 28 in part a.
