Nina [5.8K]3 years ago

Answer:

a3=15 , n=3

a8=0, n=8

a5 = ?

an = a1+ (n-1)d

a3 = a1 + (3-1) d

a3=a1+2d

and a8 = a1 + (8-1 )d

a8= a1+ 7d

15 = a1 + 2 d-------1

0= a1 +7 d----------2

substacting eq 2 from eq 1

15= - 5d

- 5d = 15

divide by - 5

d = -3

putting the value of d in eq 1

15 = a1 + 7 (-3)

15 = a1 -21

adding 21 on both sides

a1-21+21= 15+21

a1 = 36

a5 = ?, n=5, d= -3, a1=36

a5 = 36 + (5-1) (-3)

= 36+(4)(-3)

= 36-12

= 24

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

The cheapest is the Kenyan tea which costs  £1.05  for each 100g.

Step-by-step explanation:

0.0105 x 100 =    £1.05  for each 100g

300 g of Columbian tea costs £3.45

1. Calculate the rate of each gram, by dividing 3.45/300

0.0115 x 100 =  £1.15 for each 100g

1. Calculate the rate of each gram, by dividing 1.70/150

150 g of Indian tea costs £1.70

0.01133333333 x 100 =  £1.133333333 for each 100g
