The answer is B as I believe
This is an arithmetic sequence with the common difference being 1
and if u have 1 cent on day 1 and 2 cents on day 2....then on day 40, u would have 40 cents....but we need the sum of all the days..
the sum of an arithmetic sequence can be found using the formula :
sn = n(a1 + an) / 2
n = number of terms = 40
a1 = first term = 1
an = last term = 40
now we sub
s(40) = 40(1 + 40) / 2
s(40) = 40(41)/2
s(40) = 1640/2
s(40) = 820.....820 cents = $ 8.20 <== the sum
Hey! :)
So when we write something in slope intercept form, all we're doing is solving for y. So let's do that with this equation!
-2x + y = 9
add 2x to both sides
y = 2x + 9
So C is your answer.
Please let me know if you need anything further explained!
Total of 2000 voters......1650 said they would vote for candidate A
the percent who voted for candidate A is : 1650/2000 = 0.825
multiply that by 100 to get ur percent....0.825 * 100 = 82.5% <==
