The <em>correct answer</em> is:
B) INS 38.35
Explanation:
The day with the best exchange rate is Friday; the rate is 1:6.1715. Converting 88.65£ with this rate, we have:
88.65(6.1715) = 547.103475.
Since he is charged an 8% surcharge, he gets to keep 100%-8% = 92% = 92/100 = 0.92 of this:
0.92(547.103475) = 503.335197
The day with the worst exchange rate is Wednesday, with a rate of 1:5.7012. Converting 88.65£ at this rate,
88.65(5.7012) = 505.41138. 4
0.92(505.41138) = 464.9784696
The difference between Friday and Wednesday is:
503.335197-464.9784696 = 38.3567274, or 38.35.
8. The percentage of salt in each mixture is 0.35%.
To find out the latter part of the problem, we can use algebra:
14 (grams of salt) = 0.35m (0.35% of the mixture)
14 ÷ 0.35 = 0.35m ÷ 0.35 (we want to find just m, so we have to divide it by 0.35)
40 = m. The scientist made 40 g of mixture!
9. We just divide 32.5 pounds by 0.25 ( a quarter).
32.5 ÷ 0.25 = 130 kids!
10. Her original distance is 0.5 miles. But! She walked back 0.25 (quarter) mile so now this adds a quarter of a mile of distance from her house to her school.
0.5 × 3 = 1.5 + 0.25 = 1.75 miles from her house to her school.

Answer:
B. 135, 45, 15, 5...
Step-by-step explanation:
I'll go in order from 135 using the pattern shown (tᵇ/3)
135 / 3
135 = 120 + 15
135/3 = (120/3) + (15/3)
135/3 = 40 + 5
135/3 = 45
All four answer choices show this, so no elimination yet.
45 / 3
45 = 30 + 15
45/3 = (30/3) + (15/3)
45/3 = 10 + 5
45/3 = 15
A and D show 30 as term 3, so they are out.
15 / 3
15/3 = 5
C shows 2 as term 4, so that is also out.
This leaves B as the correct answer.
