Let x be the common ratio and y be the 3rd term

11.25/x=y     This means the fourth term divided by the common ratio will get the third term
20x=y           This means the second term multiplied by the common ratio will get the third term

11.25/x=20x        Set the two y's equal to each other, and solve for x!
20x^2=11.25
x^2=.5625
x=+-√.5625
x=.75 or -.75

__ , 20, __, 11.25

11.25 = 20 * r^(3-1)
11.25/20 = r^2
0.5625 = r^2
sqrt 0.5625 = r
0.75 = r...so common difference is 0.75 or 3/4

Youlanda bought a new laptop for $459 and paid 7.5% in sales tax. How much did Youlanda pay in sales tax?
Snezhnost [94]

Good evening!

In this question, we were asked to solve for the sales tax of the laptop that Youlanda bought.

We were given:
- Cost of laptop: $459

- Sales Tax: 7.5%

In order to find the amount Youlanda paid for the sales tax, we would multiply the cost of the laptop ($459) by the sales tax (0.075):

Calculate:
459 × 0.075 = 34.425

Your answer would be: $34.425
