Hello,
I note (a,b,c) the result of a quarters, b dimes and c pennies:
2 solutions:
106=( 3, 3, 1)=( 1, 8, 1)
106=( 0, 0, 106) but : 100= 0*25+ 0*10+ 100

106=( 0, 10, 6) but : 100= 0*25+ 10*10+ 0
106=( 1, 0, 81) but : 100= 1*25+ 0*10+ 75
106=( 1, 1, 71) but : 100= 1*25+ 1*10+ 65
106=( 1, 2, 61) but : 100= 1*25+ 2*10+ 55
106=( 1, 3, 51) but : 100= 1*25+ 3*10+ 45

106=( 2, 3, 26) but : 100= 2*25+ 3*10+ 20
106=( 2, 4, 16) but : 100= 2*25+ 4*10+ 10
106=( 2, 5, 6) but : 100= 2*25+ 5*10+ 0
106=( 3, 0, 31) but : 100= 3*25+ 0*10+ 25
106=( 3, 1, 21) but : 100= 3*25+ 1*10+ 15
106=( 3, 2, 11) but : 100= 3*25+ 2*10+ 5
106=( 3, 3, 1) is good
106=( 4, 0, 6) but : 100= 4*25+ 0*10+ 0
Answer:
The common ratio r = 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
Now s2 = a1r and s4 = a1r^3 where a1 = first term and r = common ratio so
s4 / s2 = a1r^3 / a1r = r^2 = 32/8
r^2 = 4
r = 2.
