Answer: 145 cans

Step-by-step explanation:

arithmetic sequence

aₙ = a₁ + (n-1).r

aₙ → last term

a₁ → 1st term

n → quantity of terms

r → common difference

a₁ = 1 (one can at the top)

aₙ₋₁ = 25

aₙ = 28

To find out How many cans are in the entire display, we need the SUM of the arithmetic sequence: S = (a₁+aₙ)n/2

∴

S = (1+28).n/2

n = ?

aₙ = a₁ + (n - 1).r

r = 28 - 25 = 3

28 = 1 + (n - 1).3

27 = (n - 1).3

27/3 = (n - 1)

9 = n - 1

n = 9 + 1 = 10

S = (1+28).n/2

S = (1+28).10/2 = 29.10/2 = 29.5 = 145

At the corner store near Billy’s

Answer:

d = 0.0175n    ---> required equation

Billy can buy 285.714 gram nut with $5

Step-by-step explanation:

cost of 100g loose nut = $1.75

dividing LHS and RHS by 100

cost of 100/100g loose nut = $1.75

Thus, cost of 1 gm loose nut = $0.0175

let the weight of loose nut be n gm

Multiplying LHS and RHS by n

cost of x g loose nut = $0.0175*n =  $0.0175n

It is given that Billy spent d dollars to buy n gm nuts

thus,

d = 0.0175n    ---> required equation

________________________________________________

He spent $5 to buy nuts

substituting value of d as 5 we have

0.0175n = 5

=>n = 5/0.0175 = 285.714

Thus, Billy can buy 285.714 gram nut with $5.
