Answer is a1 = 7

Using equation (derived from formula to find sum of values in a geometric series),
77 \:  =  \frac{a(1 - (  { - 2}^{5}))}{1 - ( - 2)}
Hence, solve for a.

A plane ticket to Barcelona costs £175 the price decreases by 6% work out the new price of the plane ticket
ololo11 [35]
What I like to do to solve these is to divide the 175 by 100 because that's kind of what it relates to a percent... and then I multiply by 96. So in this problem:
175/100= 1.75
1.75 x 94 and then that equals your answer 164.50 euros is the new cost of the ticket.
Hope this Helps!
P.S a thanks or brainliest would mean a lot. :)
