Answer:
Ratio is 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Common ratio can be obtained by dividing second term by first term, third term by second term etc
Therefore
99/11 = 9
891/99 = 9
The common ratio is 9
So if you take 10% of $19.50, you have $1.95. If you multiply $1.95 by 6, you get $11.70 which is 60% of the original cost of the book. Add $11.70 to $19.50 and you have $31.20.
You must first set up an equation for this problem. Your equation is 8+3x=128. If we subtract 8 from each side we get 3x=120. If we then divide both sides by 3 we get x=40. Therefore your number is 40 because 8+3*40=128.
