Please see the pic, I'd solved in it.
Jose wanted to ride his bicycle for a distance of 12 miles, but it broke down after he went only 25% of his distance. How many m
2 answers:
Answer: Jose traveled 3 miles on his bike before it broke down.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Jose wanted to ride his bicycle for a distance = 12 miles
Cycle broke down after he went only 25% of his distance i.e =
Thus Jose travelled for 3 miles before his bike broke down and he still has (12-3)= 9 miles of his distance to cover.
Thus Jose traveled 3 miles on his bike before it broke down.

We have been given that you drop a ball from a window 50 metres above the ground. The ball bounces to 50% of its previous height with each bounce. We are asked to find the total distance traveled by up and down from the time it was dropped from the window until the 25th bounce.
We will use sum of geometric sequence formula to solve our given problem.
, where,
a = First term of sequence,
r = Common ratio,
n = Number of terms.
For our given problem ,
and
.
Therefore, the ball will travel 100 meters and option B is the correct choice.
