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

Truck A costs $600 more that Truck B. However, it burns 0.06 gallon/mile compared to 0.07 gallon/mile for truck B. Both trucks h
qwelly [4]

Answer:

  1,778

Step-by-step explanation:

Let C and S represent the cost and salvage value of Truck B, respectively. Let X represent the number of miles per year that answers the question.

Truck A's cost for 10 years is ...

  A = C+600 +(0.06)(2.25)(10X) -(S+200)

Truck B's cost for 10 years is ...

  B = C +(0.07)(2.25)(10X) -S

We want to find X such that Truck A's cost is lower, so ...

  C -S +1.35X +400 < C -S +1.575X

  400 < 0.225X

  1777 7/9 < X

1778 miles driven per year (or more) makes Truck A a better option.
