To figure out what a fraction is as a decimal u would do the top divided by the bottom

For this fraction it would look like this,

8 divided by 9 which would get you 0.88888888888

So your decimal is 0.889

Its not 0.888 because with decimals since a typical decimal is show as 2-3 numbers it would be rounded up to keep it as 3 numbers or less. so this would be 0.889 or if that doesnt work 0.888 with a line over the last 8.

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

The commission would be $ 920.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Sales in 1997 = $ 9500,

Since, there is a commision of 8 % on the first $ 7500 of sales, 16% on the next $ 7500 of sales, and 20% on sales over $ 15,000,

If x represents the total sales,

Commission for x ≤ 7500 = 8% of x = 0.08x,

Commission for 7500 < x ≤ 15000 = 8% of 7500 + 16% of (x-7500)

= 600 + 0.16(x-7500),

Commission for 7500 < x ≤ 15000 = 8% of 7500 + 16% of 7500 + 20% of (x-15000)

= 600 + 1200 + 0.20(x-15000)

= 1800 + 0.20(x-15000)

Thus, the function that shows the given situation,

$f(x)=\left\{\begin{matrix}0.08x & x \leq 7500\\ 600+0.16(x-7500) & 7500 < x \leq 15000\\ 1800+0.20(x-15000) & 15000 < x\end{matrix}\right.$

Since, 9500 lies between 7500 and 15000,

Therefore, the commission would be,

f(9500)= 600 + 0.16(9500 - 7500) = 600 + 320 = $ 920

Find a formula for the general term an of the sequence, assuming that the pattern of the first few terms continues. (Assume that

Allushta [10]

Answer:

The general term for the sequence can be given by the following formula:

$a_n=2\,n+9$

Step-by-step explanation:

If the sequence you typed starts with first term 11 and continues with terms 13, 15, 17, 19, We understand that the sequence is formed by adding 2 units to the previous term. So we are in the case of an arithmetic sequence with constant difference (d) = 2, and with first term 11.

Therefore, the nth term of this arithmetic sequence can be expressed by using the general form for an arithmetic sequence as:

$a_n=a_1\,+\,(n-1)\,d\\a_n=11\,+\,(n-1)\,2\\a_n=11+2\,n-2\\a_n=2\,n+9$
