Answer:

You only have four terms so n can only be 1, 2, 3 or 4!

I think you mean: What is the nth term of the sequence 15, 12, 9, 6, …?

The ellipsis (…) tells us that the sequence continues.

This is an arithmetic sequence, where the general term is: a+bn

n=1:a+b=15 [Eq. 1]

n=2:a+2b=12 [Eq. 2]

Subtracting Eq. 1 from Eq.2: b=−3

Substituting this into Eq. 1: a−3=15⇒a=18

Thus the nth term is: 18−3n

By selling a stool for rupees 67.50,a carpenter loses 10%.how much percent would he gain or lose by selling it for rupees 82.50.

valentina_108 [34]

Let the actual value of the stool be x.

So if the carpenter sells the stool x rupees he neither loses, now wins anything.

67.50 is the value x - 10% of x, that is:

67.50=x-0.1x
67.50=0.9x

x=67.50/0.9=75 (rupees) is the actual value of the stool.

Selling the stool for 82.50 rupees, the carpenter clearly would make a profit, say of y% of that actual value, that is y%*75.

So using the same method:

82.50=75+y%*75

y%*75=82.50-75=7.5

we can make the calculations, but clearly 7.5 is 10% of 75

Answer: 10% gain.
