Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If Samantha's earnings continue to increase at the same rate, this means that her earning is increasing arithmetically.

If she earned $550 in the first day, we can say the first term is $550

If she earned $750 on the third day, we can say the third term is $750

For us to know by how much her money is increasing, we need to find the common difference d formed by the sequence

550, x , 750

T1 = 550

T2 = x

T3 = 750

Common difference d = T2-T1 = T3-T2

x - 550 = 750 - x = d

Let's calculate the second term first i.e x

Since x - 550 = 750 - x = d

x - 550 = 750 - x

Collect like terms

x+x = 750+550

2x = 1300

x = 1300/2

x = 650

d = T2-T1

d = x - T1

d = 650-550

d = 100

Hence her money keeps increasing by $100 each day

Round 7.21 divided by 7 to the nearest tenth
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]
1 is the answer.

The exact answer is 1.03, but we have to round it to the nearest tenth which is 0 because 3 is less than 5.

The drama club was selling tickets
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

108 student tickets, and 176 adult tickets  were sold

Step-by-step explanation:

Adult ticket $8  Call the number of adult tickets sold "a"

Student ticket $5  Call the number of student tickets sold "s"

Since we are talking about TWO consecutive days of sold out seats, the total number of seats sold were 2* 142 = 284

Then we create two different equations with the information given:

a + s = 284

8 * a + 5 * s = 1948

we can solve for s in the first equation as follows: s = 284 - a

and use it in the second equation

8 a + 5 (284 - a) = 1948

8 a + 1420 - 5 a = 1948

combining

3 a = 528

a = 528/3

a = 176

we find the number of student tickets using this answer in the substitution equation we used:

s - 284 - 176 = 108

Therefore 108 student tickets, and 176 adult tickets  were sold.

I WILL MAKE YOU BRAINIST
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

234

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the summation from n = 2 to n = 10 of the equation -4 + 5n.

We can use the summation formula:

S=\frac{(a_1+a_n)*n}{2}, where a1 is the first term, a_n is the last term, and n is the number of terms

Here, we can say the first term occurs when n = 2:

-4 + 5n

-4 + 5 * 2 = -4 + 10 = 6

The last term will be when n = 10:

-4 + 5n

-4 + 5 * 10 = -4 + 50 = 46

The number of terms is just 10 - 2 + 1 = 9 terms.

Substitute these in:

S=\frac{(a_1+a_n)*n}{2}

S=\frac{(6+46)*9}{2}=\frac{468}{2} =234

Thus, the answer is 234.
