Let the cost of the soft drink = C then the price of the sandwich was 3.5 times as much = 3.5C
And
C + 3.5C = Total Cost
C + 3.5C = 9
4.5C = 9 divide both sides by 4.5
C = 9/4.5 = $2.00 for the soft drink
And 3.5C = 3.5(2.00) = $7.00 cost of the sandwich
Seventy-three percent is the same as
73% ,
.73 , and
.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Remark
My guess is that what is confusing you is not what you have to do, but why it is disguised as g(n)
What you are doing in effect is setting up a table. You are also not certain where the table starts. And that is a problem. I will start it at zero, but it might be 1.
zero
n = 0
g(0) = 34 - 5*0
g(0) = 34
One
n = 1
g(1) = 34 - 5*1
g(1) = 34 - 5
g(1) = 29
Two
g(2) = 34 - 5*2
g(2) = 34 - 10
g(2) = 24
Three
g(3) = 34 - 5*3
g(3) = 34 - 15
g(3) = 19
Four
g(4) = 34 - 5*4
g(4) = 34 - 20
g(4) = 19
Answer
0 1 2 3 4
34 29 24 19 14
