Answer:
The sum of the given series is 1023
Step-by-step explanation:
Geometric series states that a series in which a constant ratio is obtained by multiplying the previous term.
Sum of the geometric series is given by:
where a is the first term and n is the number of term.
Given the series:
This is a geometric series with common ratio(r) = 2
We have to find the sum of the series for 10th term.
⇒ n = 10 and a = 1
then;
Therefore, the sum of the given series is 1023
Although the information has been presented in a baffling way in this question, but I think I understood the expressions.
We have been given that price of monster truck is x dollars and there is an 13% monster truck tax.
We can express the monster truck tax amount as.
Therefore, the total amount including tax will be .
We can now match each statement with its equivalent expression as shown below
The price of Camacho’s new truck before tax = x
The amount of tax Camacho pays = 0.13x
Camacho’s total bill for the monster truck = 1.13x
None of these = 0.87x
