The first thing we should do is to multiply 50 and 13 3/4
13 3/4 is equivalent to 13.75 .
So, we then multiply
50 x 13.75 and we get 687.50.
so, $687.50 was the amount spent on the stock.
Now, lets find out how much they sold them for:
What we do is multiply 12 and 50
50 x 12 would be 600
We can find out the loss by subtracting
$687.50 - $600 and that gives us $ 87.50.
Therefore, $87.50 is your answer :)

Could someone answer and explain these please? Thank you!

Answer 1:

It is given that the positive 2 digit number is 'x' with tens digit 't' and units digit 'u'.

So the two digit number x is expressed as,

$x=(10 \times t)+(1 \times u)$

$x=10t+u$

The two digit number 'y' is obtained by reversing the digits of x.

So, $y=(10 \times u)+(1 \times t)$

$y=10u+t$

Now, the value of x-y is expressed as:

$x-y=(10t+u)-(10u+t)$

$x-y=10t+u-10u-t$

$x-y=9t-9u$

$x-y=9(t-u)$

So, $9(t-u)$ is equivalent to (x-y).

Answer 2:

It is given that the sum of infinite geometric series with first term 'a' and common ratio r<1 = $\frac{a}{1-r}$

Since, the sum of the given infinite geometric series = 200

Therefore, $\frac{a}{1-r}=200$

Since, r=0.15 (given)

$\frac{a}{1-0.15}=200$

$\frac{a}{0.85}=200$

$a=0.85 \times 200$

a=170

The nth term of geometric series is given by $ar^{n-1}$ .

So, second term of the series = $ar^{2-1}$ = ar

Second term = $170 \times 0.15$

= 25.5

So, the second term of the geometric series is 25.5

Round 4.432 to the nearest tenth.

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

4.4

Step-by-step explanation:

The tenth place in this number is 4.432, so that should be the last digit.

Now, we need to know wether to round up or down. That is determined by the digit that comes after it. If that digit, here it is the hundredth, is 0-4, it rounds down, if it is 5-9, it rounds up. Our next digit is 3, which goes into the first category, so the number rounds down, so the tenth remains the same. That leaves us with 4.4.
