Answer:
Jesse needs to work 43 hours in the month to make $400 and $60
work for answer: 9.50 x 43 = 408.5
example why it can't be lower or higher than 43 hours 9.50 x 42 = 399 or 9.50 x 44 = 418

bearing in mind that, the geometric sequence is "convergent" only when |r|<1, or namely "r" is a fraction between 0 and 1.
-16 + (-8) = -24
(-4) - 7 = -11
-24 - (-9) = -15
6.25 + (-8.50) = 2.25
10.8 - (6.4) = 4.4
-54.26 + (-15.42) = -69.68
