The jogger was in a consistent rate in 2-3 minutes
The sequence above is geometric progression.
The nth term of such sequence is given by;
Tn = ar∧(n-1),
Where a⇒first term and
r⇒common ratio
So, 1st term = 5×1.25∧(1-1) = 5×1.25∧0 =5
2nd term = 5×1.25∧(2-1) = 5×1.25 = 6.25
3rd term = 5×1.25∧(3-1) = 5×1.25² = 7.8125
4th term = 5×1.25∧(4-1) =5×1.25³ = 9.765625
5th term = 5×1.25∧(5-1) = 5×1.25∧4 = 12.20703125
6th term = 5×1.25∧(6-1) = 5×1.25∧5 = 15.25878909
So, you know that there were 5 people there, Kara and 4 friends. To divide equally, just divide 42.30 by 5=
42.30/5 = 8.46
Each person played $8.46.
Hope this helps!!
