Answer:
The reason for the decreasing sequence is 
the sum of the sequence is -243
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that the numbers are decreasing so we will use the following formula to find the sum:
S∞=
,
where t1 is equal to the first number of the sequence and q is the reason that gives the following results.
to find q this form is used;
q= 
then we replace in the formula of the sum to find the total
Given:
Cory made 21 of the 60 baskets she attempted.
Krista made 16 out of 40 baskets she attempted.
Paul made 17 of the 50 baskets she attempted.
Sally 11 of the 55 she attempted.
To find:
Who had the greatest percentages of baskets made?
Solution:
We know that,

Using this formula, we get




From the above percentages 40% is maximum.
Therefore, Krista has greatest percentage of baskets made.
0.09 = 0.00 because 0 in the tenths is nearer to the 0 than the next number or digit :)
