<h2>Answer:</h2>

Total price = Mean price × No. of books

Total price = Mean price × No. of books= $10 × 5 = $50.

Now, we will find the cost of other 3books except expensive price and cheapest price.

$50 - ( $15 + $6)

$50 - $21 = $29.

Cost of the 2 books except middle one,

$29 - $8

= $21.

Now, we need a price which is lower than middle one but higher than cheapest price i.e, 7 so

$21 - $7

= $14.

So, the price of remaining two books are $7 and $14 respectively.

Mean is average. Multiply total books by the mean to find the total cost:

5x 10 = $50 total.

Subtract the highest and lowest prices to find the total of the remaining 3 books.

50 - 15-6 = 29

The median price was 8, this is the middle number, subtract 8 from 29 to get the cost of the last 2 books:

29-8 =21

Now you need a price lower than the median but higher than the lowest cost so that has to be 7

Subtract 7 from 21 to get the cost of the last book 21-7 = 14

The price of the remaining books is $7 and $14

Find the sum of a finite geometric series. The Smiths spent $2,000 on clothes in a particular year. If they increase the amount

boyakko [2]

$\bf \stackrel{\textit{first year}}{2000}~~,~~\stackrel{\textit{second year}}{2000+\stackrel{\textit{10\% of 2000}}{\frac{2000}{10}}}\implies 2200$

now, if we take 2000 to be the 100%, what is 2200? well, 2200 is just 100% + 10%, namely 110%, and if we change that percent format to a decimal, we simply divide it by 100, thus $\bf 110\%\implies \cfrac{110}{100}\implies 1.1$ .

so, 1.1 is the decimal number we multiply a term to get the next term, namely 1.1 is the common ratio.

$\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{sum of a finite geometric sequence}\\\\S_n=\sum\limits_{i=1}^{n}\ a_1\cdot r^{i-1}\implies S_n=a_1\left( \cfrac{1-r^n}{1-r} \right)\quad \begin{cases}n=n^{th}\ term\\a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\r=\textit{common ratio}\\----------\\a_1=2000\\r=1.1\\n=4\end{cases}\\\\\\S_4=2000\left[ \cfrac{1-(1.1)^4}{1-1.1} \right]\implies S_4=2000\left(\cfrac{-0.4641}{-0.1} \right)\\\\\\S_4=2000(4.641)\implies S_4=9282$
