Answer:

\frac{5}{8}

Step-by-step explanation:

The n th term of a geometric sequence is

a_{n} = a₁(r)^{n-1}

where a₁ is the first term and r the common ratio

here a₁ = 10 and r = \frac{1}{2}, thus

a_{5} = 10 × (1/2)^{4} = 10 × \frac{1}{16} = \frac{5}{8}

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

21

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = $1 bill

Let y = $5bill

<em>Translating the word problem into an algebraic equation;</em>

<em>For the total number of bills;</em>

x + y = 47 .........equation 1

<em>For the total number of tips;</em>

x + 5y = 131 ..........equation 2

<em>*Solving the linear equation by using the substitution method*</em>

<em>Making x the subject in equation 1:</em>

x = 47 - y .......equation 3

<em>Substituting "x" into equation 2;</em>

(47 - y) + 5y = 131

<em>Simplifying the equation, we have;</em>

47 + 4y = 131

4y = 131 - 47

4y = 84

y = \frac {84}{4}

y = 21 (For the $5 bills).

<em>Therefore, Anthony received 21 pieces of the $5 bills.</em>

To find x;

Substituting "y" into equation 3;

x = 47 - 21

x = 26 (For the $1 bill).
