$40-$10=$30, so Betty spent $30 on the 12 packets of popcorn. This means that we need to share the $30 by 12 to find out how much each packet had cost. $30÷12=$2.50. Therefore, your answer is $2.50.
A) 11/15 = .733....
B) 3/5 = .6
C) 2/3 = .666....67
D) 19/30 = .63
B, D, C, A
Negative six sevenths -6/7
Price decrease = 14.3% of $52,000 = 0.143*$52,000 = $7,436
Price of next model = $52,000-$7,436 = $44,564
This is an arithmetic sequence because each term is 7 greater than the previous term, so 7 is what is called the common difference...
Any arithmetic sequence can be expressed as:
a(n)=a+d(n-1), a=first term, d=common difference, n=term number.
We know a=1 and d=7 so:
a(n)=1+7(n-1)
a(n)=1+7n-7
a(n)=7n-6
The above is the "rule" for the nth term.
