Each bush costs $18.49

Step-by-step explanation:

Mrs. Kelly creates a garden

  • She buys 15 flowers and 3 bushes for a total cost of $160.32
  • Each bush costs $11.50 more than each flower

We need to find how much each bush costs

Assume that the cost of each flower is $x and the cost of each

bush is $y

∵ She by 15 flowers and 3 bushes for a total cost $160.32

∵ The cost of each flower is $x

∵ The cost of each bush is $y

∴ 15x + 3y = 160.32 ⇒ (1)

∵ Each bush costs $11.50 more than each flower

- That mean equate y by x plus 11.50

∴ y = x + 11.50 ⇒ (2)

Now we have system of equations to solve it

Substitute y in equation (1) by equation (2)

∵ 15x + 3(x + 11.50) = 160.32

- Simplify the left hand side

∴ 15x + 3x + 34.5 = 160.32

- Add like terms in the left hand side

∴ 18x + 34.5 = 160.32

- Subtract 34.5 from both sides

∴ 18x = 125.82

- Divide both sides by 18

∴ x = 6.99

Substitute the value of x in equation (2) to find y

∵ y = 6.99 + 11.5

∴ y = 18.49

Each bush costs $18.49

the arithmetic sequence ai is defined by the formula: a1 = -53 ai = ai-1 + 6 find the sum of the first 880 terms in the sequence
maxonik [38]

Answer:

The sum of the first 880 terms in the sequence is 2,273,920.

Step-by-step explanation:

Arithmetic sequence:

The difference between consecutive terms is always the same, called common difference, and the nth term is given by:

a_{n} = a_0 + (n-1)d

In which d is the common difference.

Sum of the first n terms:

The sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic sequence is given by:

S_{n} = \frac{n(a_1+a_n)}{2}

ai = ai-1 + 6

This means that d = 6

In this question:

Sum of the first 800 terms, so n = 800

First term is -53, so a_1 = -53

The 880th term is:

a_{880} = -53 + (880-1)*6 = 5221

Sum

S_{n} = \frac{880(-53+5221)}{2} = 440(-53+5221) = 2273920

The sum of the first 880 terms in the sequence is 2,273,920.
