John will pay $8.68 for the combined cost of 1 pound of banana and 1 pound of cherries.
Let: b=cost of banana per pound and c=cost of cherries per pound
Equation 1: For 3 pounds of cherries and 2 pounds of bananas, John pays a total of $24.95.
3c + 2b =$24.95
Equation 2: The cost of bananas is $6.50 less than a pound of cherries.
b= c - $6.50
We can substitute the second equation into the first one to solve for the cost of cherries per pound.
3c + (2)(c-$6.50)= $24.95
3c + 2c -$13.00 = $24.95
5c = $24.95 + $13.00
c = $7.59
Substituting the value of c to the second equation to solve for b.
b= $7.59 - $6.50 = $1.09
The combined cost of 1 pound of banana and 1 pound of cherries is $1.09 + $7.59 or $8.68.

Answer:
-2018
Step-by-step explanation:
The n-th term is ...
an = a1 +d(n -1)
So, the given terms are ...
-53 = a1 +12d
-128 = a1 +37d
Subtracting the first from the second gives ...
(a1 +37d) -(a1 +12d) = (-128) -(-53)
25d = -75
d = -3
The 668th term will be ...
a668 = a1 +d(668 -1) = a1 +667d = (a1 +37d) +630d
a668 = -128 +630(-3) = -128 -1890 . . . . substitute for a38
a668 = -2018
900.9% would be 9.009 as a percentage.
It's 900% because it's a whole number and it's .9% because of the last 9 in the number (the thousandth - 3 digits after the decimal).
