Answer:
The previous number keeps getting multiplied by - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
5 × -5 = -25
-25 × -5 = 125
125× -5 = -625
-625 × -5 = 3,125
3125 × -5 = -15,625
-15,625 × -5 = 78,125
78,125 × -5 = -390, 625
-390,625 × -5 = 1,953,125
1,953,125 × -5 = 9,765,625

STEP 1:
find the sales tax (decimal form)
x= sales tax
Cost + (Cost * Sales Tax)= Total
plug in known numbers
$9.40 + ($9.40 * x)= $9.87
9.40 + 9.40x= 9.87
subtract 9.40 from both sides
9.40x= 0.47
divide both sides by 9.40
x= 0.47/9.40
x= 0.05 sales tax decimal form
STEP 2:
find sales tax percentage
= 0.05 * 100
or move decimal to the right two decimal places
= 5% sales tax percent form
ANSWER: The sales tax is 5% (or 0.05 in decimal form)

Answer:
PV= $40,279.36
Step-by-step explanation:
Giving the following information:
Number of periods= 8*12= 96 months
Interest rate= 0.039/12= 0.00325
Future value (PV)= $55,000
<u>To calculate the initial investment, we need to use the following formula:</u>
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
PV= 55,000 / (1.00325^96)
PV= $40,279.36
Since the sixth term is 1215 and the 5th term is 405, we know each term is 3 times more than the last.
Let 'n' represent the first term, then the sum of the first 9 terms can be written as:
n+3n+9n+27n+81n+243n+729n+2187n+6561n
which sinplifies to 9841n
since each term is 3 times the last, the first term must be 405 divided by 3, 4 times in total, which is 5
Now subsitute 'n' for 5, and we get 9841(5)
which is 49205 which is the answer.
Hope this helps
