Answer:
256
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the series
1, 16, 81, __, 625, 1296
The missing number in the sequence is the fourth term
From the above sequence, we know that
1, 4², 9² , __, 25² , 36²
Difference between first term = 4 - 1 = 3
9 - 4 = 5
x - 9 = 7
x = 9 + 7 = 16
Hence, the fourth term = 16²
= 256
The number pattern to that is multiply by 10.
Divide commission amount by percentage:
83.50 / 0.40 = 208.75
Sales must be $208.75
You can make this into an inequality, using x as the number of uniforms.
100 + 12x < 61 + 15x
39 < 3x
13 < x, so they must buy more than 13 to get a better deal.
