Let x be the amount each friend pays .
There are five friends contributing ,so 5x will be the total money collected .
It needs to equal the price plus the tax, 210 + 15 = 225
So the equation becomes,
5x = 225
dividing right side by 5, we have
x = 225/5 = 45
Answer: So each frien pays $45.
The first term of the geometric sequence is 0.0061
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
The general form of geometric sequence is a, ar, ar²,ar³,.......
where,
- a is the first term of the sequence.
- r is the common ratio. Here, the common ratio r = 4.
- The 8th term of the sequence is 100. Hence n = 8.
<u>The formula to find the nth term of the geometric sequence is given by :</u>
