34.00 -A video game is on sale at Amazon for 35% off the original price of $28.50. Both Pat and Henri want to purchase the game,

but they only have $21 each. They will have to pay 10% sales tax. Pat and Henri have different strategies to calculate the price and decide if they have enough money to get the game. Pat takes 35% of $28.50 and subtracts that from the original price. She takes 10% of the sale price and adds it to the sale price to find the total amount she would have to pay. Henri finds 65% of the original price and then calculates 110% of the sale price. What is the sale price of the video game with tax? (1 point) Will Pat's strategy calculate the correct total? Explain the calculations. (2 points) Will Henri's strategy calculate the correct total? Explain the calculations. (2 points) Do they each have enough to purchase the game? (2 points) Explain your answers using complete sentences and show your work

Answer:

Sale price of video game with tax = <em>$20.3775</em>

Yes, they both have enough money to purchase the video game.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Original price of video game = $28.50

Discount on original price = 35%

Sales tax = 10%

Money available with Pat and Henri = $21 each

First of all, let us find out the price as per Pat's method.

Step 1:

Taking 35% of $28.50

\Rightarrow \dfrac{35}{100}\times \$28.50 = \$9.975

Step 2:

Subtract from $28.50 to find the sale price:

$28.50 - $9.975 = $18.525

Step 3:

Take 10% of sale price:

\$18.525\times \dfrac{10}{100} = \$1.8525

Step 4:

Add to sale price to get the final amount to be paid:

$18.525 + $1.8525 = <em>$20.3775</em>

<em></em>

Now, let us use Henri's method:

Step 1:

Find 65% of original price:

\dfrac{65}{100}\times $28.50 = \$18.525

Step 2:

Find 110%:

\dfrac{110}{100}\times \$18.525 = \bold{\$20.3775}

Sale price of video game with tax = <em>$20.3775</em>

<em>Yes, they both have enough money to purchase the video game.</em>

Is the sequence 16, 38, 104...geometric or arithmetic????
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

24. 6, 24, 96, 384...

The differences between consecutive terms are not the same, so it's not an arithmetic sequence:

,  

The ratio of consecutive terms is constant:

=  =  =  So it is a geometric sequence with common ratio = 4.  

25. 1,3,7,13... has neither common difference, nor common ratio

, ,  --> not an arithmetic sequence

, ,  --> not a geometric sequence

26. 4, 13, 22, 31...

---> arithmetic sequence

27. 3, -1, -5, -9...

, ,  --> arithmetic sequence

28. -11, -7, -3, 1...

, ,  --> arithmetic sequence

29. 1/2, 3/2, 9/2, 27/2...

=  =  =  --> geometric sequence

30. 1/3, 2/3, 1, 4/3...

--> arithmetic sequence

31. -3/4, 1/8, -1/16, 3/32...

the numbers alternate between positive and negative, and so will the difference, so there cannot be a common difference --> not an arithmetic sequence

, ,  --> not a geometric sequence

32. -3/5, 4/25, 5/125, 6/625...

, ,  --> not an arithmetic sequence

, ,  --> not a geometric sequence

find the common ratio of the geometric sequence  

33. 1,4,16,64...

The common ratio is 4.

34. 3,6,12,24...

The common ratio is 2.

35. -3,6,-12, 24...

The common ratio is -2.

36. 5,40,320,2560... You can do this one.

37. 136,68,34,17... You can do this one.

38. -1/4,1/8, -1/16,1/32...

, ,

The common ratio is -1/2.

write a rule for the nth term of the geometric sequence. Then find .  

39. 1,-4,16,-64...

First find the common ratio and first term:

The common ratio is  

The first term is .

--->  

40. 5,10,20,40... ,  

41. 2,14,98,686 You can do this one.

42. 6,-30,150,-750... You can do this one.

43. 5,-5/3,5/9,-5/27... ,  

44. 2,4/3,8/9,16/27 ,
