Answer: Hi, first lets give our variables some names.

Lets call Ks to Karen's salary and Js to Jason's salary.

then, in 1995:

Ks₁ - Js₁ = 2000$

in 1998:

Ks₂ - Js₂ = 2440$

now, we know that  Ks₂ = (1 +p)*Ks₁ and   Js₂ = (1+p)*Js₁

so we can write the second equation as:

p*(Ks₁ - Js₁ ) = 2440$

replacing the parentesis with the first equiation

(1+p)*(2000$) = 2440$

(1+p)= 2440/2000 = 1.22

so p = 0.22, or a 22%

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

1/2 or 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Within 1 to 6,

Even numbers are 2, 4, 6

While odd numbers are 1, 3, 5

Assuming cards are mixed up properly and the probabilities of drawing a card with any number from 1 to 6 is constant,

Probability of drawing even number cards = number of units of even number cards ÷ total number of units of cards from 1 to 6 aka total number of cards

= 3 / 6

= 1 / 2

Find the first four terms of the sequence given by the following an=57-4(n-1),n=1,2,3
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

57, 53, 49, 45

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute for the n for n=1,2,3,4 so the first term is 57-4(1-1) so =57-4(0) so

a(1) = 57-0 = 57  so that is the 1st term

2nd term 57-4(2-1) so =57-4(1) so   a(2) = 57-4 = 53, etc.
