In this specific case, the <em>initial term</em> (a) is 5 and the <em>common ratio</em> (r) is -2
Henceforth, after determining what a and r are, we use the formula for the <em>nth term</em>. Which is:

Therefore, the 14th term is :

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.
1. We assume, that the number 45.5 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 45.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 45.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 6.81% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=6.81%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 45.5=100%
2) x=6.81%
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
45.5/x=100%/6.81%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.
7. Solution for what is 6.81% of 45.5
45.5/x=100/6.81
(45.5/x)*x=(100/6.81)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
45.5=14.684287812041*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.684287812041) to get x
45.5/14.684287812041=x
3.09855=x
x=3.09855
now we have:
6.81% of 45.5=3.09855

Answer:
85%
Step-by-step explanation:
6000 x 0.85 = 5100
5100 - 6000 = 9000
