Answer:

The four consecutive multiples of three are 6, 9, 12, and 15

Step-by-step explanation:

let the first multiple of 3 = n

second multiple of 3 = (n + 3)

third multiple of 3 =(n + 6)

fourth multiple of 3 =(n + 9)

product of the first and the third = n(n + 6) = n² + 6n

eight times the fourth number = 8(n + 9) = 8n  + 72

The difference between the two =  n² + 6n - (8n  + 72) = -48

n² + 6n - 8n  - 72 = -48

n² - 2n =  -48 + 72

n² - 2n = 24

n² - 2n - 24 = 0

n²  - 2n - 24 = 0

n² + 4n - 6n - 24 = 0

n(n + 4) - 6(n + 4) = 0

(n - 6)(n + 4) = 0

n = 6    or  - 4

n should be a positive number, thus n = 6

The second multiple of 3 =  (n + 3) = 6 + 3 = 9

The third multiple of 3 =(n + 6) = 6 + 6 = 12

The fourth multiple of 3 = (n + 9) = 6 + 9 = 15

$310 dollars because after it res and decreased it gained $.10 and 100 x 3 is 300 so thats before you calculate how much it rose so .10 x 100 is 10 so add that to 300 and you get 310
