First you divide the smaller number by the larger number, to see how many of that number goes into the other:
45/50 = 0.9

The you times it by 100 to get the percentage:
0.9*100 = 90%

Hope this helps! :)

Given the rule: an=7(1/2)n-1 identify the first term

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

using the rule given: 2.5
using an exponential rule: 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Evaluating the linear rule given, for n = 1, we have ...

a1 = 7(1/2)(1) -1 = 7/2 -1 = 5/2 = 2.5

_____

We suspect you may intend the exponential function ...

an = 7(1/2)^(n-1)

Then, for n = 1, we have ...

a1 = 7(1/2)^(1 -1) = 7(1) = 7 . . . . the first term is 7

_____

When writing an exponential expression in plain text, it requires the exponential operator, a caret (^). If the exponent contains any arithmetic, as this one does, it must be enclosed in parentheses.

The cost of a council tax bill increased by 5%.

andreyandreev [35.5K]

The council tax bill before the increase is £1240

The equation that represents the percentage increase in council tax bill is :

percentage increase x t = £62

Where t represents the initial council tax bill - council tax bill before the 5% increase

5% x t = £62

0.05 x t = £62

Divide both sides of the equation by 0.05

t = £62 / 0.05 = £1240
