We use equations for geometric sequence. We do as follows:<span>

a(n) = a(1) r^(n-1)
20 = ar^(2-1)
</span>20 = ar<span>
a = 20/r

11.25= ar^(4-1)
</span>11.25 = ar^3
<span>11.25 = (20/r)r^3
r = 0.75

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

  455 or 680, depending

Step-by-step explanation:

If we assume the three choices are different, then there are ...

  15C3 = 15·14·13/(3·2·1) = 35·13 = 455

ways to make the pizza.

___

If two or three of the topping choices can be the same, then there are an additional ...

  2(15C2) +15C1 = 2·105 +15 = 225

ways to make the pizza, for a total of ...

  455 + 225 = 680

different types of pizza.

__

There is a factor of 2 attached to the number of choices of 2 toppings, because you can have double anchovies and tomato, or double tomato and anchovies, for example, when your choice of two toppings is anchovies and tomato.

Jim and Mark left a 20% tip after having lunch at a restaurant. The amount of the tip was $12. Mark's lunch cost $16. Write an e
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

$44

Step-by-step explanation:

Use formula

% out of 100/100% = part/whole

20%/100 = 12/16+x

Cross multiply

(12)(100) = (20)(16+x)

1200=320+20x

Solve for x

1200-320 = 20x

880 = 20x

880/20 = x

44 = x

Jim's lunch was $44.

What is 12t-8t combind
kogti [31]

Answer:

Simplifying

12t + -8t = 0

Combine like terms: 12t + -8t = 4t

4t = 0

Solving

4t = 0

Solving for variable 't'.

Move all terms containing t to the left, all other terms to the right.

Divide each side by '4'.

t = 0

Simplifying

t = 0

A population of 1,750 cheetahs decreases by 10% per year. How many cheetahs will there be in the population after 11 years? Roun
Triss [41]

Answer:

The answer is C. 546.

If a population decreases by 11%, that means that 89% (100% - 11% = 89%) of cheetahs remains each number. 89% can be expressed as 0.89, so to calculate the change of the population, we must each year multiply the number of cheetahs by 0.89.

After 1 year:     1750 * 0.89 ≈ 1558

After 2 years:  1558 * 0.89 ≈ 1387

After 3 years:  1387 * 0.89 ≈ 1234

After 4 years:  1234 * 0.89 ≈ 1098

After 5 years:  1098 * 0.89 ≈ 977

After 6 years:  977 * 0.89 ≈ 870

After 7 years:  870 * 0.89 ≈ 774

After 8 years:  774 * 0.89 ≈ 689

After 9 years:  689 * 0.89 ≈ 613

After 10 years:  613 * 0.89 ≈ 546
