The formula in getting the arithmetic sequence:
an = a1<span> + (n – 1)d.
</span>
We can substitute the values in order for us to know how many terms the sequence has.
an = 7373
a1 = 1313
d = 303
an = a1<span> + (n – 1)d
</span>7373 = 1313 + (n-1) 303
7373 = 1313 + 303n - 303
-303n = 1313 - 303 - 7373
303n = -1313 + 303 + 7373
303n = 6363
n = 21
So, there are 21 terms in the sequence given.

Answer:
$34
Step-by-step explanation:
I'd work backwards.
For the third book, she paid all her remaining money. The problem says she paid "1/2 her leftover money + $3". This means that: (let m = money used to buy book 3)
m = 1/2m + 3
1/2m = 3
m = 6
For the second book: (let n = money before book 2)
n - m (money left after book 2) = 1/2n + 2
1/2n +2 is money used up for book, which is the same as n-m.
n = 1/2n + 2 + m
1/2n = 2 + m = 2 + 6
1/2n =8
n = 16
For the first book, she spent 1/2 her money + 1. If o = money before book 1 (or the whole allowance):
o - n = 1/2o + 1
o = 1/2o + n + 1 = 1/2o + 16 + 1
1/2o = 17
o = 34
Check!
Spent 17 (half 34) + 1 on book 1
16 left
Spent 8 (half 16) +2 on book 2
6 left
Spent 3 (half 6) + 3 on book 3
0 left
Answer:
85%
Step-by-step explanation:
- Calculate how many students passed on their first try. 20 x 70% is 14, so 14 students passed on their first try.
- 6 students retook the test. Half of 6 is 3. Add 3 to the 14 students that passed earlier.
- Calculate the percent with the equation 17/20 = 0.85. 0.85 = 85%.
