Answer:

Total amount pay by Ben = $82.27 (Approx.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

2 Shirts = $16 each

3 pairs of socks = $2.50 each

1 pair of jeans = $37.75 each

Sales tax = 6.5%

Find:

Total amount pay by Ben

Computation:

Total amount for shirts = 2 x 16

Total amount for shirts = $32

Total amount for socks = 3 x 2.50

Total amount for shirts = $7.50

Total amount before tax = $32 + $7.50 + $37.75

Total amount before tax = $77.25

Total amount pay by Ben = Total amount before tax[1+tax]

Total amount pay by Ben = 77.25[1+6.5%]

Total amount pay by Ben = $82.27 (Approx.)

Answer:

$3 + 12 + 48 + 192 + 768 = \sum\limits^4_{n=0} 3 * 4^n$

$4 + 32 + 256 + 2048 + 16384 = \sum\limits^4_{n=0} 4 * 8^n$

$2 + 6 + 18 + 54 + 162 = \sum\limits^4_{n=0} 2* 3^n$

Match equivalent expressions

Solving (a):

$3 + 12 + 48 + 192 + 768$

The expression can be written as:

$3 \to 3*4^{0$ --- 0

$12 \to 3 * 4^{1$ ---- 1

$48 \to 3 * 4^{2$ --- 2

$192 \to 3 * 4^{3$ ---- 3

$768 \to 3 * 4^{4$ ---- 4

For the nth term, the expression is:

$Term = 3 * 4^{n$ ---- n

So, the summation is:

$3 + 12 + 48 + 192 + 768 = \sum\limits^4_{n=0} 3 * 4^n$

Solving (b):

$4 + 32 + 256 + 2048 + 16384$

The expression can be written as:

$4 \to 4 * 8^0$ --- 0

$32 \to 4 * 8^1$ ---- 1

$256 \to 4 * 8^2$ --- 2

$2048 \to 4 * 8^3$ ---- 3

$16384 \to 4 * 8^4$ ---- 4

For the nth term, the expression is:

$Term \to 4 * 8^n$ ---- n

So, the summation is:

$4 + 32 + 256 + 2048 + 16384 = \sum\limits^4_{n=0} 4 * 8^n$

Solving (c):

$2 + 6 + 18 + 54 + 162$

The expression can be written as:

$2 \to 2 * 3^0$ --- 0

$6 \to 2 * 3^1$ ---- 1

$18 \to 2 * 3^2$ --- 2

$54 \to 2 * 3^3$ ---- 3

$162 \to 2 * 3^4$ ---- 4

For the nth term, the expression is:

$Term \to 2 * 3^n$ ---- n

So, the summation is:

$2 + 6 + 18 + 54 + 162 = \sum\limits^4_{n=0} 2* 3^n$

Solving (d):

$3 + 15 + 75 + 375 + 1875$

The expression can be written as:

$3 \to 3 * 5^0$ --- 0

$15 \to 3 * 5^1$ ---- 1

$75 \to 3 * 5^2$ --- 2

$375 \to 3 * 5^3$ ---- 3

$1875 \to 3 * 5^4$ ---- 4

For the nth term, the expression is:

$Term \to 3 * 5^n$ ---- n

So, the summation is:

$3 + 15 + 75 + 375 + 1875 = \sum\limits^4_{n=0} 3* 5^n$

The system of equations has no solution:<br> y=2/3x-5<br> 4x - 6y = 30<br> true or false?

Serjik [45]

1. y = 2/3x - 5

2. 4x - 6y = 30

Divide 2. by 2

3. 2x - 3y = 15

Substitute 1. into 3.

4. 2x - 3(2/3x - 5) = 15

5. 2x - 2x + 15 = 15

6. 15 = 15

False. There are an infinite number of solutions.

In the cafeteria tables are arranged in groups of 4, with each table seating 8 students. How many students can sit at 10 groups

Arisa [49]

4 tables = 1 group. So in 10 groups of tables, there are 40 tables. Each table seats 8 students, so you multiply 8 by 40, and that leaves your answer as 320 students. :)

Due in 5 mins!! FIND THE MISSING LENGTHS!!!!!

meriva

Since the shape is a square the sides are equal. Then we need to find x such that x * x = 169.
Sqrt(169) = 13
So x = 13
