Answer:
an = 56-8(n-1)
Step-by-step explanation:
This is an arithmetic sequence
The common difference is 48 - 56 =-8
a1 = 56
an = a1+d(n-1)
an = 56-8(n-1)
N=8+d
10d+5n=145
divide 2nd equaiton by 5 to make nicer and easier
2d+n=29
subsitute 8+d for n in 2nd equation
2d+8+d=29
3d+8=29
minus 8 both sides
3d=21
divide by 3
d=7
sub back
n=8+d
n=8+7
n=15
15 nickles and 7 dimes
The answer is $1,908
1. Find out 6% of 40,000 is 108. Now you have your sales commission for the month
