Hi!
1/4 of 20 pencils are 5 pencils.
Since he gave away 4 pencils,
Total = 5 + 4 = 9
Mr. Simms use and give away total 9 pencils.

Answer: 375</h3>
=========================================
Work Shown:
a = 300 = first term
r = 60/300 = 0.2 = common ratio
We multiply each term by 0.2, aka 1/5, to get the next term.
Since -1 < r < 1 is true, we can use the infinite geometric sum formula below
S = a/(1-r)
S = 300/(1-0.2)
S = 300/0.8
S = 375
----------
As a sort of "check", we can add up partial sums like so
- 300+60 = 360
- 300+60+12 = 360+12 = 372
- 300+60+12+2.4 = 372+2.4 = 374.4
- 300+60+12+2.4+0.48 = 374.4+0.48 = 374.88
and so on. The idea is that each time we add on a new term, we should be getting closer and closer to 375. I put "check" in quotation marks because it's probably not the rigorous of checks possible. But it may give a good idea of what's going on.
----------
Side note: If the common ratio r was either r < -1 or r > 1, then the terms we add on would get larger and larger. This would mean we don't approach a single finite value with the infinite sum.
The answer would be 240 since you are only looking for surface area, which means you wouldn’t include the width

Answer:
5x + 32 < 50
Step-by-step explanation:
On a particular airline, bags checked in must weigh less than 50 pounds. Betty packed 32 pounds of clothes and five gifts that weigh the same amount.
If each gift weighs w pounds, then the weight of five gifts will be 5w pounds and an additional 32 pounds of clothes will make it total (32 + 5w) pounds.
Now, this total weight has to be less than 50 pounds.
Therefore, the inequality equation that can be used to find the possible weight of each gift, w is
