The answer is Letter B - 2, 8, 26

<span>Given: an=3an-1+2 ; where a2=8
Required: First three terms of the sequence - a1, a2, a3
Solution:

You need to work back to get a1 since the given is a2.</span><span>
To work back, minus 2 from 8 first before dividing the number by 3. 
 a1 = 8 - 2
 a1 = 6 / 3
 a1  = 2

In getting a3, multiply the given 8 by 3 then add 2. </span>an=3an-1+2 : a3=3(8)+2<span>
a3 = 8 x 3
a3 = 24 + 2
a3 = 26</span>

Find the number, d, if the sum of five times d and five times five is a<br> hundred.
Gelneren [198K]

The value of d from the given expression is 15

<h3>Word problem leading to equation</h3>

From the given statement the sum of five times d and five times five is a

hundred is interpreted as;

5d + 5(5) = 100

5d + 25 = 100

Subtract 25 from both sides

5d = 100 - 25

5d = 75

d =15

Hence the value of d from the given expression is 15

Your waiter at a restaurant suggests you leave a tip of $10 on a $50 bill. What percentage is that?
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

20%

Step-by-step explanation:

To find what percentage is $10 out of $50, we divide 10 by 50:

\frac{10}{50}=0.2

If we want to get the result in percentage form, we simply multiply it by 100%:

0.2\cdot 100\%=20\%

So a tip of $10 on a $50 bill is a tip of 20%.
