Answer:

The value of 15th price is $ 3,000,

The total amount of the price is $ 105,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The First prize is $10,000,

And, each successive prize is $500 less than the preceding prize,

Thus, the prizes are,

10000, 9500, 9000, ......

Which is an AP,

Having first term, a = 10000,

common difference, d = -500,

Number of terms, n = 15,

Thus, the value of the 15th prize = last term of the above sequence

= a + (n -1)d

= 10000 + (15-1)× -500

= 10000 - 7000

= $ 3,000

Also, the total amount of the price = total sum of the above sequence,

=\frac{n}{2}(2a + (n-1)d)

=\frac{15}{2}(2(10000) + (15-1)\times -500)

=\frac{15}{2}(20000 - 7000)

=\frac{15}{2}(14000)

=15\times 7000

= $ 105,000

Gerri spends 1/21 of her money on pencils and 2/21 on paper. What fraction of her money does she spend. Give the answer in simpl
BigorU [14]

Answer:

Gerri spends 1/7 (A).

Step-by-step explanation:

If Gerri spends 1/21 of her money on pencils and 2/21 of her money on paper, adding these two fractions together will give us the total fraction of her money that she spent.  Since 1/21 and 2/21 have the same denominator, we can add the numerators to get 3/21.  However, fractions must always be in simplest form, meaning if the numerator (top number) and denominator (bottom number) can both be divided evenly by the same factor, then the fraction can be simplied to lower numbers.  In this case the number 3 and the number 21 can both be divided evenly by 3:  (3÷3)/21÷3) = 1/7.

Answer:

27

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to find x.

It is shown that DE=EF, so we can use this.

5x-3=3x+7

5x=3x+10

2x=10

x=5

Then, you plug in the value of the variable and solve.

6(5)-3

30-3
