Answer: 16

Step-by-step explanation:

The formular for calculating the nth term of a geometric progression is arⁿ⁻¹

WHERE a= first term, r = common ratio and n= number of term

a = 54

since we are looking for the fourth term n = 4

To get our common ratio; we simply divide a number by its preceding number

r = 36/54 = 2/3

our fourth term is;

Tn = arⁿ⁻¹

T₄ = 54 (2/3)⁴⁻¹

= 54 (2/3)³

=54(8/27)

= 432/27

=16

Therefore the next term is 16

Carmencita is 12 years old and she is saving for a car. She wants to have $5,000 by the time she is 16 years
kati45 [8]

Answer:

$ 22.22

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

P = amount to save per week

B = expected accurate at 16 years = $5000

r = APR = 3.9% = 0.039

n = numbers of week in a year = 52weeks

t = 16 - 12 = 4 years terms of savings.

Using,

P = (B * r/n)/{(1 + (r/n))^(nt) -1}

P = (5000 * 0.039/52)/{(1 + (0.039/52))^(52 * 4) -1}

P = $22.22
