for an AP

where

a

1

=

the first term

d

=

the common difference

then we have

a

1

,

(

a

1

+

d

)

,

(

a

1

+

2

d

)

,

...

,

a

1

+

(

(

n

−

1

)

d

)

,

.

.

we are given the third term

10

=

a

1

+

2

d

−

−

(

1

)

and the fifth term

26

=

a

1

+

4

d

−

−

(

2

)

subtract

(

)

−

(

1

16

=

2

d

⇒

d

=

8

sub into

(

1

)

10

=

a

1

+

2

×

8

⇒

a

1

=

−

so the nth term

a

n

=

a

+

(

n

−

)

will be

a

n

=

−

6

+

8

(

n

Choose yes or no to tell whether the expression represents a 20% discount off the price of an item that originally costs d dolla
tester [92]

Answer:

Option A and C is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Discount is defined as a reduced price on something being sold or at a price lower than that item is normally sold for.

For a 20% discount,

Given:

Initial prices = $ d

Discounted price = % discount × original/initial cost

= 20/100 × d

= 0.2 × d

Selling price = original cost - discounted price

= d - 0.2d

= 0.8 × d

= 0.8d
