1 step: S_{5}=T_{1}+T_{2}+T_{3}+T_{4}+T_{5}, S_{3}=T_{1}+T_{2}+T_{3}, then
 S_{5}-S_{3}=T_{4}+T_{5}=5.

2 step: T_{n}=T_{1}*q^{n-1}, then 
T_{6}=T_{1}*q^{5}
T_{5}=T_{1}*q^{4}
T_{4}=T_{1}*q^{3}
T_{3}=T_{1}*q^{2}
and \left \{ {{T_{6}-T_{4}= \frac{5}{2} } \atop {T_{5}+T_{4}=5}} \right. will have form \left \{ {{T_1*q^{5}-T_{1}*q^{3}= \frac{5}{2} } \atop {T_{1}*q^{4}+T_{1}*q^{3}=5} \right..

3 step: Solve this system  \left \{ {{T_1*q^{3}*(q^{2}-1)= \frac{5}{2} } \atop {T_{1}*q^{3}*(q+1)=5} \right. and dividing first equation on second we obtain \frac{q^{2}-1}{q+1}= \frac{ \frac{5}{2} }{5}. So, \frac{(q-1)(q+1)}{q+1} = \frac{1}{2} and q-1= \frac{1}{2}, q= \frac{3}{2} - the common ratio.

4 step: Insert q= \frac{3}{2}into equation T_{1}*q^{3}*(q+1)=5 and obtain T_{1}* \frac{27}{8}*( \frac{3}{2}+1 ) =5, from where T_{1}= \frac{16}{27}.

Can someone please help me with this question?
liq [111]
To get the solution we are looking for we need to point out what we know.
1. We assume that 55 is 100% because its the output value of the task.
2. We assume that the x is the value we are looking for. 
3. If 100% = 55 so we can write it down as 100%=55 
4. We know that x% = 44 of the output value so we can write it as x%=44.
5. Now we have two simple equations: 1) 100%=55 2) x%=44 where left sides of both of them have the same units and both right sides have the same units so we can do something like that 100%/x%=55/44.
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation and we will get the answer.
7. Solution for 44 is what percent of 55 100%/x%=55/44 (100/x)*x=(55/44)*x we multiply both sides of the equation by x 100= 1.25*x we divide both sides of the equation by (1.25) to get x 100/1.25=x 80=x now we have: 44 is 80% of 55! 

Quick answer = 44 is 80% of 55
Hope this helps! ;D
