No, because in most of the numbers the number in the tenths place is over 5 so you round up instead of keeping it the same.
We know that
the <span>formula of the arithmetic series is
</span>Sn=<span>n[2(a1) + (n - 1)d]/2
where
Sn=80
n=20
d=2
a1=?
then
80=20*[2*a1+19*2]/2----------------> </span>160=[40*a1+760]
160=[40*a1+760]----------> a1=(160-760)/40------------> a1=-15
<span>
the answer is
a1=-15
</span>
1 + {[(1 * 0.5) x 12] x 3}
1 + {[0.5 x 12] x 3}
1 + {6 x 3}
1 + 18
19
I'm not sure if that's a 1.000 or 1,000 so:
1,000 + {[(1,000 * .5) x 12] x 3}
1,000 + {[500 x 12] x 3}
1,000 + {6,000 x 3}
1,000 + 18,000
19,000
this is the step I hope my answer help you .
First you divide 39/40
you would get 0.975
