Let x = cost of the dishwasher.
The amounts the children are paying are:
Mark =20% = 1/5, so 1/5x
Sorin = 75
Raymond = 1/4x
Stephanie = 75
Kristin = 1/3x
Add them together:
x = 1/5x + 1/4x + 1/3x + 75 + 75
x - ( 1/5x + 1/4x + 1/3x ) = 150
Rewrite fractions with common denominator:
x - ( 12/60x + 15/60x + 20/60x ) = 150
60/60x - 47/60x = 150
13/60x = 150
x = 150/1 • 60/13
x = 9000/13
x = 692.31
The total cost of the dishwasher is $692.31
Now calculate the amount each child pays:
Mark = 1/5 x = 692.31/ 5 = $138.46
Sorin = $75.00
Raymond = 1/4 x = 692.31 / 4 = $173.08
Stephanie = $75.00
Kristin = 1/3 x = 692.31 / 3 = $230.77

Answer:
The first term of the sequence is -120.
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the "nth" term of a geometric sequence is shown below:
an = a0*r^(n-1)
Where an is the nth term, r is the ratio and n is the position of the term on the sequence. For this problem we want to find what is the initial term, a0, so we will isolate it in the formula as shown below:
a0*r^(n-1) = an
a0 = an/[r^(n-1)]
We then apply the data given to us
a0 = 31.45728/[-0.8^(7-1)]
a0 = 31.45728/[-0.8^6] =31.45728 /-0.262144= -120
The first term of the sequence is -120.
