Answer:
87.5 ml tube of toothpaste slightly offers the better value of money.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to know the better value of money, we need to find the volume of each toothpaste for 1p.
For first tube of toothpaste:
87.5 ml costs 49p
Therefore, for 1 p = 87.5/49 = 1.78571429 = 1.8 ml
For second tube of toothpaste:
125 ml costs 72 p
Therefore, for 1 p = 125/72 = 1.73611111 = 1.7 ml
Since, 1.8 ml > 1.7 ml
So, 87.5 ml tube of toothpaste slightly offers the better value of money.
The next three terms are: -3, 6, and 15
To get each new term, we simply add 9 to the last term. So we add 9 to -12 to get -3. Then we add 9 to -3 to get 6. Finally we add 9 to 6 to get 15
In other words,
first term = -12
second term = first term+9 = -12+9 = -3
third term = second term + 9 = -3+9 = 6
fourth term = third term + 9 = 6+9 = 15
This process repeats forever though we only need three terms in this case.
So that's why the answer is the three values -3, 6 and 15
