No. Because 33 $ is the money deducted from the 60 $. Dawn bought everything for less than 60 $.
So, if Dawn purchases everything on the rack with a 30% discount and 15% coupon the total will indeed make 45%.
We have to take 100% - 45%= 55% to know the reduction number. Let's proceed to the calculations now.
100%= 60 $
1%=60/100
55%= 60/100 × 55 = 33 $
Now <u>NOTE</u><u>;</u><u> </u><u>33</u><u> </u><u>$</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>money</u><u> </u><u>reduced</u><u> </u><u>from</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>60</u><u> </u><u>$</u><u>.</u><u> </u><u>So</u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>logically</u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>33</u><u> </u><u>$</u><u> </u><u>isn't</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>amount</u><u> </u><u>which</u><u> </u><u>Dawn</u><u> </u><u>purchased</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>whole</u><u> </u><u>rack</u><u>. </u>
To find the amount at which she purchased everything, we need to do,
60 $ - 33 $ = 27 $
I'm pretty sure it's -4x.
Let
a1=1/40
a2=4/40
a3=9/40
a4=16/40
a5=25/40
a6=?
we know that
a2-a1=4/40-1/40----> 3/40
a3-a2=9/40-4/40-----> 5/40
a4-a3=16/40-9/40----> 7/40
a5-a4=25/40-16/40---> 9/40
the difference is
3/40,5/40,7/40.9/40,....
3/40+[2/40]---> 5/40
5/40+[2/40]---> 7/40
7/40+[2/40]---> 9/40
the next will be
9/40+[2/40]-----> 11/40
so
the next term is 25/40+[11/40]------> 36/40
the answer is
36/40
516+497+501+528+476= 2518
2518/5= 503.6
round up to 504
