Let's say the price of one book is the variable x
Therefore, Alana is 5x and Petra is 4x
Angus bought 19x, but since he had a $10 discount, it is 19x-10
Combined, Alana and Petra is 5x+4x, but since it says Angus spent $5 more, it would be 5x+4x+5
Therefore, we get the equation: 
19x-10=5x+4x+5
19x-10=9x+5
10x=15
x=15/10 or 3/2 which equals 1.5
Therefore, one book costs $1.5

Need help asap NO LINKS!!!<br> Mark as brainllest who ever gets it right

Answer:

73384 kilotons

Step-by-step explanation:

=> Total amount the 1st year = 90,000

=> Since after the 1st yr, there was a reduction of 4%, so 100% - 4% = 96% or 0.96

=> Total time = 6

We know that the formula of a geometric sequence is;

aₙ = a₁ * r⁽ⁿ⁻¹⁾

In which;

  • aₙ = the value that has to be figured out (in this case it would be a₆)
  • a₁ = the first term of the sequence (in this case it would be 90,000)
  • r = common ration (in this case it would be 0.96)
  • n = given time (in this case it would be 6)

Therefore we can finally say;

=> aₙ = a₁ * r⁽ⁿ⁻¹⁾

=> a₆ = 90,000 * 0.96⁶⁻¹

=> a₆ = 90,000 * 0.96⁵

=> a₆ = 73383.54

=> a₆ = 73384 (Rounded to the nearest whole number)

Therefore, rounding the answer to the nearest whole number, the answer would be; 73384 kilotons

Hope this helps! (Btw big shout out to jcherry99 for helping me figure this out!!)
