Step-by-step explanation:
Since the sequence above is an arithmetic sequence
For an nth term in an arithmetic sequence
A(n) = a + ( n - 1)d
where a is the first term
n is the number of terms
d is the common difference
From the question
a = 1/3
d = 1/2 - 1/3 = 1/6 or 2/3 - 1/2 = 1/6
Substitute the values into the above formula
That's
<h3>So the nth term of the sequence is
<h3>For a50 since we are finding the 50th term
n = 50
So we have
<h3>We have the final answer as

So.. .at the beginning of the sale, there was a total of "x" pies
now, let's see what happened to those pies
so, we had "x"
then Mary took 2, she left x - 2
Kate took half of that (x-2)/2
then 10 were sold, and 14 leftover
if we subtract all those figures, and solve for "x",
we should get what "x" was, so
notice, if we subtract what Mary took, and Kate, and the sold and leftover, from the original "x", we would end up with no pies :)
so.. just solve for "x"

This is an example of an exponential decay problem.
The basic format of the equation is:
In this problem, the starting amount is 100. The rate is 0.5 because it is being cut in half every 330 days.
