So 5a=cost of adults
3s=cost of students
a+s=1142
5a+3s=4326

a+s=1142
subtract s from both sdies
a=1142-s
subsitute 1142-s for a
5(1142-s)+3s=4326
5710-5s+3s=4326
5710-2s=4326
subtract 5710 from both swides
-2s=4326-5710
-2s=-1384
dividee both sides by 2
-s=-692
multiply -1
s=692
692 students
subsittue

a+692=1142
subtract 692
a=450

s=692
a=450

the common ratio of a geometric series is 3 and the sum of the first 8 terms is 3280. what is the first term of the series?
andrew11 [14]

Answer: 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating the sum of a Geometric series if the common ratio is greater than 1 is given as :

S_{n} = \frac{a(r^{n}-1) }{r-1}

Where S_{n} is the sum of terms , a is the first term , r is the common ratio and n is the number of terms.

From the question:

S_{n} = 3280

a = ?

r = 3

n = 8

Substituting this into the formula , we have

3280 = \frac{a(3^{8}-1) }{3-1}

3280 = \frac{a(6561-1)}{2}

Multiply through by 2 , we have

6560 = a ( 6560)

divide through by 6560, we have

6560/6560 = a(6560)/6560

Therefore : a = 1

The first term of the series is thus 1
