Let's try an make a formula to make things easy.

_________________________________________________

Look at Andrew's pattern, it goes up 6 every time. Lets look at the 6 times table

6 times table:           6, 12, 18, 24, ...

____________________________________

First think, how would you work out the <u>7</u>th term in the <u>6</u>th times table?

You would do <u>6</u> times <u>7</u>.

So the formula for the 6th times table is:

6n     (where n is the term you want to find out)

_______________________________________

So to get the 9th term in the 6 times table, you would replace the n with 9, like so:

9th term in 6 times table = 6 x 9 = 54

______________________________________

Now lets compare the 6 times table to Andrew's pattern:

6 times table:           6, 12, 18, 24,

Andrew's pattern:     3, 9, 15, 21,

_____________________________________

If you look, you can see that Andrew's pattern is the 6 times table minus 3!

So what would be the formula for Andrew pattern?

---> it would be:  6n - 3   (since it's the 6 times table but minus 3)

_____________________________________

We can use this formula to easily work out the 20th term in Andrew's pattern!:

20th term = 6 x 20 - 3 = 120 - 3 = <u>117</u>    (remember, replace the n with 20)

______________________________________

Now let's make a formula for Ben's pattern!

Ben's pattern goes up in 5s, so lets compare it to the 5 times table:

5 times table:       5, 10, 15, 20

Ben's pattern:       3, 8, 13, 18,

The formula for the 5 times table is 5n, and Ben's pattern is the 5 times table but minus 2.

So the formula for Ben's pattern is: 5n - 2

__________________________________

<u>Now swap out the n for 20</u>  (to get the 20th term):

20th term = 5 x 20 - 2 = 100 - 2 = <u>98</u>

_________________________________________

So Andrew's 20th term is <u>117</u>, and Ben's 20th term is <u>98</u>.

All we do now is subtract them to find the difference:

117 - 98 = <u>19</u>

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Answer:

Ben's 20th term is smaller by 19!

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

I don't understand how to begin this problem
Ronch [10]
I would first add 5 and 2 together, then multiply that by 3. Finally you would subtract the 1. After solving for what is inside the parentheses you would multiply it by 2 for your final answer.

2•(3(5+2)-1)
2•(3(7)-1)
2•(21-1)
2•(20)

Rename the number to 120,000 ten thousand
Ray Of Light [21]
120,000 renamed to ten thousand (10,000) is twelve ten thousand. Ten thousand in number form is 10,000.  When you divide 120,000 (one hundred and twenty thousand)  by 10,000 (ten thousand) you get 12.  120,000 (one hundred and twenty thousand)  /10,000 (ten thousand) = 12. So there are twelve ten thousands in 120,000.

Bogdan [553]

Answer: $134.40

Step-by-step explanation: Just find 80% of 168. That is because 100 - 20 is 80. The question says 20% OFF.
