Answer:

a_8=38

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Recursive sequence </u>

In a recursive sequence formula, each term a_n is computed as a function of one or more previous terms. In the formula

a_n=a_{n-1}+5

n is the number of the term we want to calculate. If n=8, then the formula becomes

a_8=a_{7}+5

We can see a_{n-1} is the previous term. It means we need a_7 to be able to compute a_8. But we also need a_6 to compute a_7 and so on until some known data is reached. The question provides five terms, a_5=23.

a_6=a_5+5=28

a_7=a_6+5=33

a_8=a_7+5=38

a_8=38

I don’t get it. Please help thanks
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

$2,410.69

Step-by-step explanation:

$1,950 x 1.15 = $2,242.50 after 15% markup

$2,242.50 x 1.075 = $2,410.68 after the 7.5% sales tax.


or you can do:


$1,950 x 0.15 = $292.5 markup

$1,950 + $292.5 = $2,242.50

$2,242.50 x 0.075 = $168.19 for sales tax

$2,242.50 + $168.19 = $2,410.69 total
