Hello
By just looking at the question, you should know that if there an absolute value symbol (which are those two straight lines surrounding that equation), the answer will always be positive.
Step-by-step explanation:
if 900 is increased by 20% then
120/100×900=1080
Decreasing it by 20% then
80/100×1080=864
Sum of n terms in a geometric progression is given by Sn = a1 (1 - r^n) / (1 -r)
3( 1 - 4^6) / (1-4)
= 4,095
The answer would be 90 line ups
This is because 18 x 5 = 90
17 pieces. She had two and she had to have 15 to give to the children. If each child got 3 and there is 5. This turns into 3*5=15. Then you would add 15+2 to get 17
