<span>The was a 30% decrease in area. You started with 40 sq ft and ended up with 28 sq ft. So you lost 40 - 28 = 12 sq ft. Now you need to figure out what percentage of 40 is 12. For that you just simply divide 12 / 40 = 0.30 And to convert 0.30 from a decimal to a percentage, just multiply by 100. 0.30 * 100 = 30%</span>

Find an explicit formula for the following sequence, an which starts with a1=2/3. 2/3,3/4,4/5,5/6,…
Flura [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a1=2/3

sequence is 2/3,3/4,4/5,...

for numerator a1=2

d=3-2=1

numerator of nth term=a1+(n-1)d=2+(n-1)×1=2+n-1=n+1

denominator = 1 more than numerator=n+1+1=n+2

so an=(n+1)/(n+2)

or for denominator a1=3,d=4-3=1

denominator of nth term=3+(n-1)×1=3+n-1=n+2

an=(n+1)/(n+2)

Shawn has $5 more than Rj and Riley has $10 less than Shawn. If there combined total is $414, how much does
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

Rj has 138 dollars, Shawn has 143 dollars, and Riley has 133 dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's make the amount of money Rj has x, so Shawn would have 5+x dollars, and Riley would have (5+x)-10 dollars. Altogether they have 414 dollars, so you can create an equation.

x+(5+x)+((5+x)-10)=414\\3x+0=414\\3x=414\\x=138

Now that we know that x=138, we can substitute x into each equation.

Rj has 138 dollars, Shawn has 143 dollars, and Riley has 133 dollars.
