Lets day the original price of the dvd player was $100,
36% marked down means you pay $64x
64x = $41.60
100x = 100/54 x 41.60 = 4160/64 = #65.00 = original cost
similarly, stereo tuners = 100/78 x 69.42 = 6942/78 = $89 original cost
DVD = 65- 41.60 = $ 23. 40 less
Stereo = 89- 69.42 = $ 19.58 less
Diffrence is $ 3.82
so your answer is the dvd player price was reduced by $3.82 more than the stereo tuner.
Answer: Proportional reasoning compares ratios to answer questions.
16/21 is your answer
You can take a 2 out of both numbers to get your answer
I hope this helped! :)
The sum of a geometric sequence is:
s(n)=a(1-r^n)/(1-r) in our case:
s(n)=3(1-4^n)/(1-4)
s(n)=-(1-4^n)
s(n)=(4^n)-1 and s=1023
(4^n)-1=1023
4^n=1024
n ln4=ln1024
n=(ln1024)/(ln4)
n=5
