1/4 time 1/4 equals a half...or you can think about it as 25 plus 25 equals 50, (1/2 of a dollar)
Answer:
The first term of the geometric series is 1
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we are tasked with calculating the first term of a geometric series, given the common ratio, and the sum of the first 8 terms.
Mathematically, the sum of terms in a geometric series can be calculated as;
S = a(r^n-1)/( r-1)
where a is the first term that we are looking for
r is the common ratio which is 3 according to the question
n is the number of terms which is 8
S is the sum of the number of terms which is 3280 according to the question
Plugging these values, we have
3280 = a(3^8 -1)/(3-1)
3280 = a( 6561-1)/2
3280 = a(6560)/2
3280 = 3280a
a = 3280/3280
a = 1
Answer:
17% of the bill
Step-by-step explanation:
Well to find the answer to this question we first have to add 35 + 48 to get the total percent of the bill that Michelle and Lori paid.
35 + 48 = 83%
now that we know the percent of the bill that Lori and Michelle are paying we have to subtract that amount by 100% to get the percent of the bill that Patti is paying.
100% - 83% = 17%
So Patti is paying 17% of the bill
If we wanted to go even farther and find out what 17% of the bill was all we would have to do is multiply 45 by 17% or 45 x 0.17
45 x 0.17 = 7.65
So Patti is paying 7 dollars and 65 cents
