We know that 7 cookies at the current price (75 cents less than normal) will cost $2.80.
Thus, we can set up the equation 7(c - .75) = 2.80
Now, let's solve for c.
c - .75 = .4
Add .75 to get:
c = 1.15
John's payments are
month 1: $100
month 2: $100*(1.1)
month 3: $100*(1.1)²
month 4: $100*(1.1)³
...
The payments form the geometric sequence
a, ar, ar², ..., arⁿ
where
a = $100
r = 1.1
The sum of the first n terms is

Therefore the sum of the first 20 payments is
S₂₀ = [$100(1 - 1.1²⁰)]/(1 - 1.1)
= $5727.50
John makes a total of $5727.50 in the first 20 payments.
Answer:
The answer is -8x-10
Step-by-step explanation:
-4(2x+3)-2
you will use the -4 to open the bracket
-8x-12-2
-8x-10
X is -2 I think if you’re solving for x if not 3^4 is 81
Its simple what you do is you subtract not divide because if you where dividing you would be putting something into groups equally and not Addison because your not trying to find how much in all so it would be Subtraction another way is to see if there is how many more or How much more so if you see that then you know that its Subtraction! Hope this helps!:)
