Although the number of new wildflowers is decreasing, the total number of flowers is increasing every year (assuming flowers aren't dying or otherwise being removed). Every year, 25% of the number of new flowers from the previous year are added.
The sigma notation would be:
∑ (from n=1 to ∞) 4800 * (1/4)ⁿ , where n is the year.
Remember that this notation should give us the sum of all new flowers from year 1 to infinite, and the values of new flowers for each year should match those given in the table for years 1, 2, and 3
This means the total number of flowers equals:
Year 1: 4800 * 1/4 = 1200 ]
+
Year 2: 4800 * (1/4)² = 300
+
Year 3: 4800 * (1/4)³ = 75
+
Year 4: 4800 * (1/4)⁴ = 18.75 = ~19 (we can't have a part of a flower)
+
Year 5: 4800 * (1/4)⁵ = 4.68 = ~ 5
+
Year 6: 4800 * (1/4)⁶ = 1.17 = ~1
And so on. As you can see, it in the years that follow the number of flowers added approaches zero. Thus, we can approximate the infinite sum of new flowers using just Years 1-6:
1200 + 300 + 75 + 19 + 5 + 1 = 1,600
I would have used graph b. Because it shows the decrease more than graph a.

Answer: a. 13120
b. 4100
c. 1025
d. 3280
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) find the costs price of the fridge
Since the cash price is 20% less the hire purchase price, then the cost of the fridge will be:
= (100% - 20%) × 16400
= 80% × 16400
= 0.8 × 16400
= 13120
(b) calculate the deposit
Since 25% is paid as deposit, the deposit will be:
= 25% × 16400
= 0.25 × 16400
= 4100
(c) what is the monthly installments
Monthly installments will be:
= (16400 - 4100)/12
= 12300/12
= 1025
(d) what is the differences between the cash price and the hire purchase price.
This will be:
Hire purchase price = 16400
Cash price = 13120
= 16400 - 13120
= 3280
