I am sure the correct answer is x=0.38629436…hope this help you
Answer:
C. 272
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we know 85% of the students participated last year we can assume the same amount will participate this year so to find the answer you simply do the total number of students (320) multiplied by 85% or .85 to get the best guess of how many students will participate this year.
Answer:
The answer is 3093.
3093 (if that series you posted actually does stop at 1875; there were no dots after, right?)
Step-by-step explanation:
We have a finite series.
We know the first term is 48.
We know the last term is 1875.
What are the terms in between?
Since the terms of the series form a geometric sequence, all you have to do to get from one term to another is multiply by the common ratio.
The common ratio be found by choosing a term and dividing that term by it's previous term.
So 120/48=5/2 or 2.5.
The first term of the sequence is 48.
The second term of the sequence is 48(2.5)=120.
The third term of the sequence is 48(2.5)(2.5)=300.
The fourth term of the sequence is 48(2.5)(2.5)(2.5)=750.
The fifth term of the sequence is 48(2.5)(2.5)(2.5)(2.5)=1875.
So we are done because 1875 was the last term.
This just becomes a simple addition problem of:
48+120+300+750+1875
168 + 1050 +1875
1218 +1875
3093
