Answer:
$95, $115, $135, $155
Step-by-step explanation:
If the first person gets x dollars:
the next person gets 20 more, so x + 20 dollars
the next person gets x + 40 dollars
and the last person gets x + 60 dollars
We add all these allocations together, and we get $500
x + (x + 20) + (x + 40) + (x + 60) = 500
Combine like terms
4x + 120 = 500
Subtract 120 on both sides
4x = 380
Divide by 4 on both sides
x = 95
So the first person gets $95.
The second person must get $115
The third must get $135
And the fourth must get $155
Checking our work:
95 + 115 + 135 + 155 = 500
If you wish to<u> mentally estimate</u> the <u>total cost</u> of items, <u>rounding </u>off the items to the<u> nearest half dollar</u>, then you have to consider all five items separately.
Five items cost $1.85, $.98, $3.49, $9.78, and $6.18.
1. $1.85≈$2;
2. $0.98≈$1;
3. $3.49≈$3.50;
4. $9.78≈$10;
5. $6.18≈$6.
Then the total cost is
$2 + $1 + $3.50 + $10 + $6 =$22.50.
Answer: correct choice is C
Hi There!
The answer is multiplying by 11. Throughout the sequence you multiply 11 by the number before to get the next number. For example, the next number in the sequence is 14641 x 11 = 161051.
Hope This Helps :)
