Answer:

We are effectively looking for a and b such that 5, a, b, 135 is a geometric sequence.

This sequence has common ratio <span><span>3<span>√<span>1355</span></span></span>=3</span>, hence <span>a=15</span> and <span>b=45</span>

Explanation:

In a geometric sequence, each intermediate term is the geometric mean of the term before it and the term after it.

So we want to find a and b such that 5, a, b, 135 is a geometric sequence.

If the common ratio is r then:

<span><span>a=5r</span><span>b=ar=5<span>r2</span></span><span>135=br=5<span>r3</span></span></span>

Hence <span><span>r3</span>=<span>1355</span>=27</span>, so <span>r=<span>3<span>√27</span></span>=3</span>

Then <span>a=5r=15</span> and <span>b=ar=15⋅3=45</span>

Let the cost of the present be c.

Then (3/4)c = $18.33.

To isolate (solve for) c, mult. both sides of this equation by (4/3):

(4/3)(3/4)c = (4/3)($18.33), or

             c  =  $24.11
