We are told that the first term is 2. The next term is 7(2) = 14; the third term is 7(14) = 98. And so on. So, the first term and the common ratio (7) are known.
The nth term of this geometric series is a_n = 2(7)^(n-1).
Check: What is the first term? We expect it is 2. 2(7)^(1-1) = 2(1) = 2. Correct.
What is the third term? We expect it is 98. 2(7)^(3-1) = 2(7)^2 = 98. Right.<span />
Use easy numbers if you get confused on problems like these.
I'm going to use 12 instead of c.
Since you have 12 pieces of candy and 6 friends, each friend would get 2 pieces, because 12/6=2.
Now, substitute c for 12, and you get c/6.
Hope this helps!
To convert a percent to a decimal, we divide by 100. This is the same thing we do to convert a percent to a fraction.
