Your method is completely correct. The first term will be 6 and each subsequent term can be obtained by adding 6 to the previous one, meaning the common difference is 6. The number of terms is given by the highest number that is divisible by 6 and dividing it by 6; that is 996/6 = 166
Then we simply apply the formula for arithmetic sequence sum:
S = n/2 [2a₁ + (n - 1)d]
S = 166/2 [ 2(6) + (166 - 1)6]
S = 83,166

22. The mean of 15 observations is 32. Find the resulting mean, if each observation is: (i) increased by 3 (ii) decreased by(v)

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

35 ;

32 + v

51.2

Step-by-step explanation:

If each observations in a particular set is increased or decreased by a uniform or fixed number, the mean of the resulting output will also increase by the same amount

Hence,

For 15 observations whose mean is 32

If each observation is increased by 3, then the resulting mean will also increase by 3 ; hence, new mean = 32 + 3 = 35

If each observation is decreased by v ; the resulting mean would also decrease by v ;

32 - v

If each observation is increased by 60% ; the resulting mean will be ;

(1 + 60%) * initial mean

(1 + 0.6) * 32

1.6 * 32 = 51.2

A 15% discount saves you $5 off the price of an electronic game. How much do you save off the regular price if the discount is w

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

The 45% off discount saves an additional $10 compared to the 15% discount for a total of $15 off regular price.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the original price of the game through a proportion. A proportion is an equation where two ratios or fractions are equal. The ratios or fractions compare like quantities. For example, we will compare percent over percent to an equal ratio of $ to $. Since 15% of 100% is the same ratio as $5 to the unknown original $ price, I write:

$\frac{15}{100} =\frac{5}{y}$

I can now cross-multiply by multiplying numerator and denominator from each ratio.

$15y=100(5)\\15y=500$

I now solve for y by dividing by 15.

$\frac{15y}{15} =\frac{500}{15} \\y= 33.33333....$

The original price was $33.34.

Now, we can find the amount if 45% off and then then compare the two discounts. To find the percent off I can multiply by 0.45(33.34)=15. The 45% off discount saves an additional $10 compared to the 15% discount.
