Answer:

  242/27

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula for the sum, you can fill in the given values and do the arithmetic.

  Sn = a1·(r^n -1)/(r -1)

  S5 = 6·((1/3)^5 -1)/(1/3 -1) = 6(-242/243)/(-2/3) = 6·(121/81)

  S5 = 242/27

_____

Or, you can write the terms and add them up. The sum is ...

  6 + 2 + 2/3 + 2/9 + 2/27 = (162 +54 +18 +6 +2)/27 = 242/27

Think of your favorite spot to get food from. You are going there to get your first meal after quarantine and the meal cost $35.
sveta [45]

Answer:

You will be paying $41.30 in total.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of the meal is $35 and you want to leave 18% tip on the meal.

We want to find the total amount that will be paid.

First, we have to find 18% of $35 and then, add it to the original bill ($35).

18% of 35 is:

18/100 * 35 = $6.30

The tip is $6.30, therefore, the total amount paid will be:

$35 + $6.30 = $41.30

You will be paying $41.30 in total.
