Find the common ratio of the sequence -172, -86, -43, -21.5

1 answer:

6 0

Common ratio means that you will be multiplying from the first number to get the second number.
To find the ratio we will work backwards, from right to left, and divide instead of multiply.
-43/-21.5 = 1/2
-86/-43= 1/2
-182/-86 = 1/2
r = 1/2

Mary Beth and her family ate a meal in a restaurant the cost of the meal was $34.50 the sales tax was 8% of the cost of the meal

nikdorinn [45]

The total cost would be the tax plus the cost of the meal. In order to find the tax you can set up a proportion: 8/100=x/34.5. Then you can cross multiply: (100•x)=(8•34.5). Then we have 100x=276. Divide both sides by 100 and we have x=2.76. This added to the 34.50 is equal to 37.26. Hope this helps!
