Answer: Sample response: No, his answer is not correct. Jordan incorrectly found that 10% of 150 is 5. 10% of 150 is 150 ÷ 10 = 15. 50% of 150 is 75. 10% + 50% = 15 + 75 = 90. The correct answer is 90 people.

The bike store marks up the wholesale cost of all of the bikes they sell by 30%. Andre wants to buy a bike that has a price tag
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

$96.15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

markup = 30%

cost price= $125

let the cost price before markup be x

125-30/100*x= x

125-0.3x= x

125= x+0.3x

125= 1.3x

divide both sides by 1.3

x= 125/1.3

x= $96.15

Hence the price before markup is $96.15

Part 1
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1

The n th term of a geometric sequence is

a_{n} = a(r)^{n-1}

where a is the first term and r the common ratio

Given a_{6} = 128, then

a(2)^{5} = 128, that is

32a = 128 ( divide both sides by 32 )

a = 4 ← first term

Part 2

a_{21} = 4(2)^{20} = 4 × 1048576 = 4194304
