Solution

The 1st term = -3

15th term = 53

15th term = a + d(n-1)

53 = -3 + d(15- 1)                       [Here n = 15)

53 + 3 = d(14)

14d = 56

d = 4

The common difference is 4.

Natasha2012 [34]
Given:
Cost of dishwasher : 315 before sales tax
sales tax : 9.22%

Total cost = 315 * 1.0922 = 344.043

Average of 10 uses per week for the next 6 years before replacing it.
There are 52 weeks in a year.

10 uses per week * 52 weeks per year * 6 years = 3120 average uses

cost for water = 0.09 ; cost for electricity = 0.13 ; total cost per use = 0.22

0.22 * 3120 = 686.40 cost of use

purchase cost =    344.043
cost of use      =    <u>686.40</u>
lifetime cost     1,030.443

The ratio of red cars to blue cars in a parking lot was 5:3 . If there was 40 red cars , how many blue cars were there ?
Bas_tet [7]
The answer is x equals 24
you set up a proportion new over old
so for red cars 40 over 5
since we don’t know the new for blue cars we’ll use x
so x over 3
we then make them equal to each other
40 x
—- = —-
5 3
cross multiply, then we get
120=5x
isolate the x by dividing 5 from both sides to get 24
