The original price was $25.

First, convert the 30% to a real mathematical number. For percents, this is always done by dividing the 30% by 100%, or 30% / 100% = 0.300.

Second, find out what 30% of $25 is. This is the amount of the sale discount. This is always found by mulitplying 0.300 by the item's cost $25, like this:

0.300 x $25 = $ 7.50.

So for this sale, you'll save $ 7.50 on this item.

This means, the cost of the item to you is

What is the term of a 7-term geometric series if the first term is -11 the last term is -45,056 and the common ratio is -4

shutvik [7]

I assume you mean to ask how to find the sum of the seven terms?

You have

$a_2=ra_1$
$a_3=ra_2=r^2a_1$
$a_4=ra_3=r^3a_1$
...
$a_7=ra_6=r^6a_1$

So the sum is

$a_1+ra_1+r^2a_1+\cdots+r^6a_1=a_1(1+r+r^2+\cdots+r^6)=a_1\times\dfrac{1-r^7}{1-r}$

You know that $a_1=-11$ and $r=-4$ , so the sum is equal to

$-4\times\dfrac{1-(-4)^7}{1-(-4)}=-13108$
