The answer is 1/16.
When it comes to fractions, it's quite simple! If you can multiply, you can do this!
Simply write the the top number over the bottom so it looks normal. Multiply straight across. 1x1 is 1, and 8x2 is 16. Don't do anything else! It's 1 over 16 OR 1/16
<em>Answer:</em>
n²+3
<em>Explanation:</em>
The differences between the terms are not the same, so this is not "linear". Knowing that the sequence may have started with a 1, you can try subtracting the first number with a number to get 1, and use that number to subtract the rest.
4 - 3 = 1
7 - 3 = 4
12 - 3 = 9
19 - 3 = 16
28 - 3 = 25
In this case, subtracting 3 to all the numbers gave us perfect squares! So this means the nth term has to do with squaring the number and adding three afterward! This can be checked.
√1 = 1
√4 = 2
√9 = 3
√16 = 4
√25 = 5
As we found the values of these terms by subtracting three first and then finding its square root, the nth term will be the opposite; squaring and then adding three! Again, this can be checked!
1² + 3 = 4
2² + 3 = 7
3² + 3 = 12
4² + 3 = 19
5² + 3 = 28
Hope this helps !! :D
X - 0.1x - 0.2(x - 0.1x) = 7200 where x = original price.
0.9x - 0.2x + 0.02x = 7200
0.72x = 7200
x = 7200 / 0.72 = $10,000 Answer
