First we can divide it by 106 then multiply it by 100 to get rid of the 6% sales tax, which now the cost of the stuff is $17.50.
Next, we subtract 8 from this to represent the clothing pattern cost. Now it is $9.50.
The last stap to this is to divide it by 1 1/4 to get the final cost per yard:
The fabric costs $7.60 per yard. Hope this helps!
Answer:
This is a geometric sequence because any term divided by the previous term is a constant called the common ratio. r=36/18=18/9=2 A geometric sequence is expressed as
\begin{gathered}a_n=ar^{n-1},\text{ where a=initial term, r=common ratio, n=term number}\\ \\ a_n=9(2^{n-1})\\ \\ a_6=9(2^5)\\ \\ a_6=288\end{gathered}an=arn−1, where a=initial term, r=common ratio, n=term numberan=9(2n−1)a6=9(25)a6=288
I will use a quadratic formula:
7+9=x+1
X=15. I think this is what you are asking not sure tho
