I think it’s between 100-200 like 150 cause it’s near a 100 and more then a 100 too.
Short answer:
TotalCost = 12.96
Long answer:
It gives you the equation of
total cost = C + 0.08C
You just need to plug-in the $12 to the equation.
In other words, the equation is:
TotalCost = 12 + 0.08*12
TotalCost = 12 + 0.96
TotalCost = 12.96
The first term(a1) is 3
The second term (a2) is obtained by multiplying 3*(-5)
The third term A3 by multiplying 3 * -5 -5 = a2 times -5
Than you go on and one with that
But your answer is
A1=3;an+1=an(-5)
