Answer:
<u>The percent decrease of the microwave from the original price to the sale price is 24%</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:
Original price of a microwave = $ 75
Mark-up price of the microwave = $ 90
Sale price of the microwave = $ 57
2. What is the percent decrease from the original price to the sale price?
For answering this question we will use the Direct Rule of Three this way:
Price Percentage
75 100%
57 x
75x = 57 * 100
75x = 5,700
x = 5,700/75
x = 76
76 = 100 - 24
<u>The percent decrease of the microwave from the original price to the sale price is 24%</u>
<span>If you are given a mean and asked for one of the data values, you can still use the basic method for determining the mean, but work backwards. Generally we add up all the values and then divide by the number of values. In this case, working backwards, we multiply by the number of values (instead of dividing) and then subtract (instead of adding). You should be left with a data value from the set. </span>

Step-by-step explanation:
In an arithmetic sequence the common difference d is
d = a₂ - a₁ = 10 - 8 = 2
To obtain the next term in the sequence add d to the previous term, that is
a₅ = 14 + 2 = 16
a₆ = 16 + 2 = 18
a₇ = 18 + 2 = 20
The next 3 terms in the sequence are 16, 18, 20
The n th term equation for an arithmetic sequence is
= a₁ + (n - 1)d
where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference
Here a₁ = 8 and d = 2, thus
= 8 + 2(n - 1) = 8 + 2n - 2 = 2n + 6
