Answer:
20
Step-by-step explanation:
Write 25% as 25/100 · Since, finding the fraction of a number is same as multiplying the fraction with the number, we have 25/100 of 80 = 25/100 × 80
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given recursive formula:</u>
- a₁ = -1
- aₙ = - 3aₙ₋₁ + 6 for n ≥ 2
<u>The first 4 terms are:</u>
- a₁ = - 1, given
- a₂ = - 3*(-1) + 6 = 3 + 6 = 9
- a₃ = - 3*(9) + 6 = - 27 + 6 = - 21
- a₄ = - 3*(-21) + 6 = 63 + 6 = 69
You have to take $8,550 times 0.12 (12%) to find out the number it is being decreased by.
8,550 x 0.12 = 1,026
And then, you have to subtract 1,026 from 8,550 three times for three years and your answer becomes 5,472.
$5,472
