Sn = a1 * (1 - r^n)
----------
1 - r
n = 5 so answer =
1 * (1 - (1/2)^5
--------------- = 31/16
1 - 1/2
<span>$40 per hour
15 students per week
Each hourly student earns them $40 and there are 15 students, so this is multiplication.
40 * 15 = 600 per week
There are 4 weeks per month to earn 600 each week, this is again multiplication.
600 * 4 weeks = 2400 per month
</span><span>Out of their earned 2400 they must pay for their overhead, the building rent
2400 - 400 = 2000 profit
They are left with $2000 between them.</span>
