a) Simply do 0.135(13.5%)*550 to get that his rent increases by $74.25.

b) Simply do 550+74.25 to get that his new rent is $624.25.

c) 624.25/550 = 1.135, or 100%+13.5%, the amount his rent increased.

Answer:

A. $74.25

B. $624.25

C. 1.135, and this is a connection to part a because it's what we multiplied 550 by to get our new rent.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Shawn pays $550 per month for rent, and he has a 13.5% increase, we can multiply 550 by 1+\frac{13.5}{100} to get our new number.

1+0.135=1.135

550\cdot1.135=624.25

This is the new monthly rent, part B. To find Part A, let's subtract 550 from thi number.

624.25-550=74.25

Now, for part C, let's divide 624.25 by 550.

624.25\div550 = 1.135

If you notice, 1.135 is the same number we multiplied 550 by to get our new cost, and as a percent, 1.135 is 113.5%.

Hope this helped!

What is the common difference of the arithmetic sequence 5, 8, 11, 14?
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

The common difference is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

In an <u>Arithmetic Sequence</u> the difference between one term and the next is a constant called the common difference

we have

5,8,11,14

so

a1=5

a2=8

a3=11

a4=14

a2-a1=8-5=3

a3-a2=11-8=3

a4-a3=14-11=3

therefore

The common difference is 3
