First, we need to solve for the common ratio from the data given by using the equation.

a(n) = a(1) r^(n-1)
15 = -3 r^(2-1)
-5 = r
r = -5

Then, we can find the sum by the expression:

S(n) = a(1) ( 1 - r^n) / 1-r
S(8) = -3 (1 + 5^8) / 1+5
S(8) = -195313

A 10 pound bag of grapes costs $14.00. How much is it for 1 pound of grapes?
patriot [66]

Answer:

1.40

Step-by-step explanation:

I feel if you divide $14.00 by 10 you would get 1.40, so  I say this should be the right answer.

I apologize if I am incorrect.
