Answer: 81</h3>
==============================================
Work Shown:
a = first term
a*(2/3) = (2/3)a= second term
(2/3)a*(2/3) = (4/9)a = third term
note how I multiplied each previous term by the common ratio (2/3) to get the next term
Add up the three terms
a + (2/3)a + (4/9)a = (9/9)a + (6/9)a + (4/9)a = (19/9)a
Set this equal to 171, which is what we want the first three terms to sum to, then solve for 'a'
(19/9)a = 171
a = (9/19)*171
a = 81 is the first term
------------------------------------
Checking the answer:
a = 81 = first term
(2/3)*a = (2/3)*81 = 54 = second term
(4/9)*a = (4/9)*81 = 36 = third term
adding up the three terms gets us
81+54+36 = 171
so we have confirmed the answer
If you divide 120,000 by 1,500 you will get the amount that it costs per square feet which you would then multiply by 2,400 to get 192,000. So the answer is $192,000
