What is the sum of the sequence 1+3+5+7+...+99 Use Gauss's approach to find the following sum.

1 answer:

5 0

Gauss's approach is to add the same sequence in reverse order, namely

S=1+3+5+7+......+95+97+99
S=99+97+95+......+7+5+3+1
---------------------------------------
2S=(1+99)+(3+97)+(5+95)+......(95+5)+(97+3)+(99+1)=50*100=5000
=> sum = (2S)/2 = 5000/2=2500.

Michelle ordered 200 T-shirts to sell at the school carnival. She paid $2.80 per shirt, plus 5% of the total order for shipping.

djyliett [7]

Answer: She should sell each T-Shirt for at least $4.41

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to figure out what the total cost of the 200 t shirts was plus shipping. so 200 t shirts for 2.8 would cost $560 + a 5% shipping fee ($28) = 588 if she wants to markup by 150. you would then multiply 588 * 1.5 = $882. This would be the final money she wants to make by the end of her school carnival. Divide 882/200 (amnt of t-shirts) to get $4.41 per shirt
