Answer:
$30 is the price of the original pair of sneakers.
Step-by-step explanation:
You wanna cross multiply so you put :
18. 60
_ = _
x. 100
You multiply 18 the cost of the sneakers by 100 and then divide the product (1800) by 60 and you get $30.

Answer:
8 weeks
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
Matteo
Amount= $400
Spending per week= $10
Hence his balance after x weeks is given as
y=400-10x-------------1
Luca
Amount= $200
Spending per week= $15
Hence his balance after x weeks is given as
y=200+15x-------------2
Equate 1 and 2
400-10x=200+15x
collect like terms
400-200=15x+10x
200=25x
x= 200/25
x= 8 weeks
Hence it will take 8 weeks
Mohamed decided to track the number of leaves on the tree in his backyard each year. the first year, there were 500 leaves. each year thereafter, the number of leaves was 40% more than the year before. let f(n) be the number of leaves on the tree in Mohamed's backyard in the n^th year since he started tracking it. f is a sequence. what kind of sequence is it?
Number of leaves on the tree in first year = 500
The number of leaves was 40% more than the year before.
So rate of increase is 40/100 = 0.4
We use exponential growth formula,
f(n) = a(1+r)^n
Where a is the initial number, r is the rate of growth, n is the number of years
We know a= 500, r= 0.4
f(n) = 500(1+0.4)^n
f(n) = 500(1.4)^n
Plug in n=1,2,3...
f(1) = 500
f(2) = 500 * 1.4^1
f(3) = 500 * 1.4^2 and so on
From this we can see that the common ratio is 1.4
Hence it is a Geometric sequence.
