Including the first year where they spend $2,000 dollars and it's added altogether: $9,282

Not including first year and it's added altogether: $10,210.2

If you're talking about the money they spent on only the 4th year:
1st year- $2,000
2nd year- $2,200
3rd year- $2,420
4th year- $2,662

If you don't count the year where they spend $2,000:
1st year: $2,200
2nd year: $2,420
3rd year: $2,662
4th year: $2,928.2

Sum of a finite geometric series=a(r^(n) -1)/(r -1)
or
sum of a finite geometric series=a(1 - r^(n))/(1 - r)
the Smiths would spend a total of $2928.2 on clothing in 4 years

Hamburger sells 3 pounds for six dollars if Samantha 510 pounds of hamburger how much will she pay

Lina20 [59]

I believe you meant to say that if Samantha bought 510 pounds of hamburger, how much will she pay?

Now from the information we already have, we know that 3 pounds of hamburger will cost 6 dollars.

The next thing we need to know is how much one pound of hamburger will cost. This will help us calculate how much the rest will cost.

we now form an equation to assist us.
3 = 6
1= x

(where x represents the unknown price of one pound of hamburger)

Now we must cross-multiply:

3 * x = 6 x 1

3x = 6

x = 6/3

x = 2

therefore one pound of hamburger costs 2 dollars.

Now, If one pound costs 2 dollars, how about 510 pounds?

We simply multiply: 510 x 2 = 1,020

Therefore Samantha will pay 1, 020 dollars for 510 pounds of hamburger.

Please help me i’m stuck

Following the principle of supplements angles, the angle next to the 101 is 79°. 79+38+c(call the third angle c) = 180
c = 180-117 =63° x is supplemental to c so 180 = x +c
180=x + 63
x =117

7. Sapna travelled 48 km to meet her parents. She travelled the first 18 km by car and the remaining distance by train. Find the

Anton [14]

The fraction of the journey Sapna traveled by car and train is 3/8 and 5/8 respectively.

We know that fraction is an expression in mathematics used to denote the division of two whole numbers.

Given that the total distance = 48 km.

The distance Sapna traveled by car = 18 km.

So, the fraction is = distance traveled by car/total distance = 18/48 = 3/8

The distance Sapna traveled by train = 48 - 18 km = 30 km.

So, the fraction is = distance traveled by train/total distance = 30/48 = 5/8

Therefore the fraction of the journey Sapna traveled by car and train is 3/8 and 5/8 respectively.
