Courtney needs to set aside at least 43.5 hours. We need to figure out many words she needs to read in total.So we need to do 820 * 350287000.We then need to divide by 110 so we can the time in minutes. 2609.09090909....Then we divide the number 60 since the question is asking us for hours. Therefore it would take her about 43.5 hours to complete her assignment
Checking if the sequence is an arithmetic sequence
7 - 1 = 6
13 – 7 = 6
Therefore the sequence is arithmetic, with a_0 = 1 and d = 6
a_n = a_0 + (n-1)d
a_30 = 1 + (29)(6)
= 175
Therefore the 30th term is 175.
You multiply 30 dollars by 0.85 (1-0.15, with the 0.15 being for the 15 percent off). Which gets you to $25.50, and you then multiply it by 1.082 (the 1.082 being the tax, and the .082 part equating to the 8.2% tax percentage).
