Answer:

The sum is 493.4

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the value of the sum, you have to apply the geometric series formula, which is:

\sum_{i=1}^{n} ar^{i-1} = \frac{a(1-r^{n})}{1-r}

where i is the starting point, n is the number of terms, a is the first term and r is the common ratio.

The finite geometric series converges to the expression in the right side of the equation. Therefore, you don't need to calculate all the terms. You can use the expression directly.

In this case:

a=40

b= 1.005

n=12 (because the first term is 40 and the last term is 40(1.005)^11 )

Replacing in the formula:

\frac{a(1-r^{n})}{1-r} = \frac{40(1-1.005^{12})}{1-1.005}

Solving it:

The sum is 493.4

I have 8 pennies and some quarters, nickels, and dimes. The number of pennies plus nickels equals the number of dimes. I have 3
Darina [25.2K]

There are five nickels.

Let <em>w</em> = the number of pennies; <em>x</em> = the number of nickels; <em>y</em> = the number of dimes; <em>z </em>= the number of quarters.

Then, we have three equations with four unknowns:

(1) <em>w</em> + <em>x = y </em>

(2) 3<em>w</em> = 2<em>z</em>

(3) 2<em>y</em> = 3<em>z</em>

However, there is a fourth <em>unstated </em>condition: <em>w</em>, <em>x</em>, y, and <em>z</em> must all be integers.

Assume that z = 6 (to avoid fractions).

From Equation (2), w = 4.

From Equation (3), y = 9.

Insert the values for <em>w</em> and <em>y</em> into equation (1).

4 + <em>x</em> = 9

x = 9 – 4 = 5

Thus, there are 4 pennies, 5 nickels, 9 dimes, and 6 quarters.

<em>Check</em>: 4 pennies + 5 nickels = 9 dimes

6 quarters + 4 pennies = 3 quarters for every 2 pennies

9 dimes + 6 quarters = 3 dimes for every 2 quarters
