First term [ a ] = 6.3
Common difference [ d ] = 8.8 - 6.3 = 2.5
Using general term formula,
78.8 = 6.3 + (n-1)*2.5
2.5*(n-1) = 72.5 [ Dividing both sides by 2.5 ]
n-1 = 29
n = 30
Hence, 78.8 is the
30th term in the arithmetic series.

Answer:
Manny bought 3 pounds that were not on sale
Step-by-step explanation:
If 75 % were on sale, (100% -75% = 25%) then 25% were not on sale (The total has to be 100%)
Manny bought 12 pounds of vegetables
To determine how many pounds were not on sale, we take the amount of vegetables purchased and multiply by the percent that were not on sale.
12 * 25%
Change this to decimal form
12 *.25
3
Manny bought 3 pounds that were not on sale
Answer:
x+(x+4)=52
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's name the smaller number x.
The greater number would then be (x+4).
<em>The sum of two numbers means we are adding them together.</em>
<u>The equation we could then set up would be:</u>
x+(x+4)=52
<em>Now we can solve the equation to find the two numbers if needed.</em>
<u>Here is how:</u>
x+x+4=52
Combine like terms.
2x+4=52
Subtract 4 from both sides.
2x=48
Divide both sides by 2
x=24
The smaller number is 24.
24+4=28
The larger number is 28.
