Answer:
$2500 - 2%
$1500 - 4%
Step-by-step explanation:
Say the interest for the $2500 is x, so the interest for the $1500 is x+0.02.
As an equation, they would look like this:
2500x+1500(x+0.02)=110
Now solve
2500+1500x+30=110
4000x=80
x=0.02
That means the interest for the $2500 is 0.02, or 2%, and the interest for the $1500 is 0.04, or 4%.
X + 4x = 40
5x = 40
5x/5 = 40/5
x = 8
1x 8 = 8
4x 8 = 32
Check=
8 + 32 = 40
The numbers are 8 and 32
0.0166 because it’s bigger than all other numbers
you would change the denominators to the least common multiple, in this case, 12. then you would change the fractions to 8/12, 14/12, and 7/12. you would add those, and get 29/12. divide 29 by 12, and get 2. add the rest to get 2 5/12.
The third choice is appropriate.
an = 5 - 3(n - 1); all integers n ≥ 1
_____
This equation follows the form for the general term of an arithmetic sequence.
an = a1 + d(n - 1)
where a1 is the first term (corresponding to n=1), and d is the common difference. From the problem statement, a1 = 5 and d = 2 - 5 = -3.
