A: 40

Let’s do this problem backwards.


TOTAL BOOKS RN: 36

1)
“Jill... then bought 16 more...”

36 - 16 = 20

After subtracting that amount, we would end up with half of the books Jill DID NOT sell.

2)
2 • 20 = 40

At this point, we multiplied amount of books she had after she sold half of her comic books by the reciprocal of 1/2

And now you have your answer!

ladessa [460]

Answer:

The amount is $155.89

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the cost of the meal, find the tax and tip. You can find each by multiplying the amount of the meal by the percentages.

$119 * 9% = 10.71

$119 * 22% = 26.18

Now we can add all three together.

119 + 10.71 + 26.18 = 155.89

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

C. The situation represents a geometric sequence because the successive y-values have a common ratio of 1.05.

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial number of accidents = 5200 = Po

It increases 5% every year.

So r = 5% = 0.05

y = Po(1 + r)^x

y = 5200(1 + 0.05)^x

y = 5200(1.05)^x

This sequence is an exponential. Which is a geometric sequence.

Answer: C. The situation represents a geometric sequence because the successive y-values have a common ratio of 1.05.

Thank you.
