Answer:

tall candles = 39

Short candles = 52

Step-by-step explanation:

let tall candles be x

and short candles be y

No. Of candles sold = x + y =91

Money made from candles will be equal to = 8x + 5y = $572

These both are simultaneous linear equations.

x + y =91 ( multiply by 5)

5x + 5y = 455

8x + 5y = $572

Subtract them:

-3x = -117

x = -117/3

x = 39

put value of x in

x + y = 91

39 + y = 91

y = 91 - 39

y = 52

x shows tall candles so they are 39

y shows short candles so they are 52

There are 200 pieces of gum. The first student gets one-half and each student gets half of what's left each time. How many piece
grin007 [14]

Answer: the 7th person will get 3.125 pieces of gum.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first student gets one-half and each student gets half of what's left each time. This means that number of pieces of gum that each student gets is reducing in geometric progression. The formula for determining the nth term of a geometric progression is expressed as

Tn = ar^(n - 1)

Where

a represents the first term of the sequence.

r represents the common ratio.

n represents the number of terms.

From the information given,

a = 200

r = 0.5

n = 7

The 7th term, T7 is

T7 = 200 × 0.5^(7 - 1)

T7 = 200 × 0.5^6

T7 = 3.125
