Answer:
a1 = 0.5; common ratio = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the common ratio = r
a2 = 2.5
a3 = 2.5r
a4 = 2.5r * r = 2.5r^2
We are told a4 = 62.5, so
2.5r^2 = 62.5
Divide both sides by 2.5
r^2 = 25
r = 5
a2 = a1 * r
a1 = a2/r = 2.5/5 = 0.5
Answer: a1 = 0.5; common ratio = 5
Answer:176 psychology textbooks and 98 Biology textbooks were sold.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of psychology textbooks that were sold.
Let y represent the number of biology textbooks that were sold.
textbook store sold a combined total of 274 psychology and biology textbooks in a week. This means that
x + y = 274 - - - - - - - - - - -1
The number of psychology textbooks sold was 78 more than the number of biology textbooks sold. This means that
x = y + 78
Substituting x = y + 78 into equation 1, it becomes
y + 78 + y = 274
2y = 274 - 78
2y = 196
y = 98
x = y + 78 = 98 + 78
x = 176
9/20 plus 3/20 equals to 12/20, which is equal to 6/10, which is equal to 3/5
