Hello!
So out of the 950 students at Sunnydale Elementary, 285 wore the school colors. First off, let's divide the number of students that wore the school colors by the number of total students. 285/950 is 0.3. To convert that into a percentage, multiply the decimal by 100. 0.3 * 100 is 30. There. 30% of Sunnydale Elementary students wore the school colors.
Answer: The first and last options are correct
Explanation:
The recursive formula is written in terms of the previous term of the sequence. From the information given,
the Arnold's are going to save a nickel on the first day of the month and double the amount each day of the month. Thus, the recursive formula would be

where
an - 1 defines a previous term
To write the explicit formula, we would apply the formula for finding the nth term of an arithmetic sequence which is expressed as
An = ar^(n - 1)
where
a is the first term of the sequence
n is the number of terms
r is the common ratio between consecutive terms
Thus,
r = 2 because the amount is doubling each day
n = number of days
a = value of 1 nickel = $0.05
By substituting these values into the formula,
the explicit formula is
A(n) = 0.05(2)^n - 1
Answer:
Answer:
Option B is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
We will compare the interest earned by both.
Tasha: p = $5000
r = 6% or 0.06
n = 1
So, Amount after a year will be = = $5300
And amount the next year with p = 5300: 5300*1.06= $5618
Additional $5000 at 8%
Here the amount will be = =5400
Next year amount with p = 5400 : 5400*1.08 = $ 5832
Amount in total Tasha will have in 2 years = 5618+5832 = 11450
Thomas:
p = 10000
r = 7% or 0.07
n = 1
After a year the amount will be = =$10700
Amount Next year with p = 10700 : 10700*1.07 = $11449
*****Just after 1 year we can see that Tasha's total amount is high than Thomas. This means at the same consistent rate, each year Tasha's amount will always be higher than Thomas.
So, option B is correct. Tasha’s investment will yield more over many years because the amount invested at 8% causes the overall total to increase faster.
