Answer:

  2% gain

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume the shopkeeper bought the appliances at the indicated prices, and that gain is computed on the basis of that cost price.

Since the base cost is the same for each appliance, the percentages can be added directly to find the percentage gain on 8000. However, the shopkeeper's total outlay was 16000, not 8000, so the final gain percentage is half of that total.

  gain percent = (-4% + 8%)/2 = 2%

_____

If you want to see the actual numbers:

  Loss on VCR = 4% × 8000 = 320.

  Gain on TV = 8% × 8000 = 640.

Total gain on 16000 is -320 +640 = 320. As a percentage, that is ...

  320/16000 × 100% = 2%

Write an<br> explicit formula for An, the nth term of the sequence 7, -42, 252, ....
erik [133]

Answer:

A_n = 7(-6)^{n-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Key skills needed: Explicit formula, Geometric sequence</u>

1) This is a geometric sequence, meaning a constant (like 6 or 3.5) is being multiplied to every term. First we need to find the constant.

This can be done by doing -42 ÷ 7   or   252 ÷ -42

-42 ÷ 7 equals -6.

252 ÷ -42 also equals -6.

2) This means that constant is -6.

3) The general form for an explicit formula of a geometric sequence is:

a_n = a_1(r)^{n-1}

--> r means the constant (or common ratio) that is being multiplied.

--> a_1 means the first term

--> a_n means the "nth" numbered term (so a_3 is the 3rd term, a_{10} is the 10th term and so on).

--> n-1 is just the "n" in a_n minus 1.

4) We can use this formula to create an explicit formula for the geometric sequence in the problem.

--> r = -6 (Since we got -6 as the constant/common ratio).

--> a_1  = 7 (Since 7 is the 1st term)

This means that our formula would be --> A_n = 7(-6)^{n-1}

Aleksandr [31]

Answer: $70.50

Step-by-step explanation:

30npm x 125m = 3750 nails total

3750/40 = 93.75, meaning you will need 94 boxes to complete the fence

94x0.75= $70.50
