Answer:

<u>30 gallons solution 4% and 10 gallons solution 8%</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>x•4%+y•8%=40•5% </h3>

<em><u>4x+8y=40•5 and x+y=40</u></em>

x=40-y

4(40-y)+8y=200

160-4y+8y=200

4y=200-160

4y=40 => y=10 (gallons solution 8%)

=> x=40-10=30 (gallons solution 4%)

30 gallons solution 4% and 10 gallons solution 8%

ElenaW [278]

Answer:

$347.45

Step-by-step explanation:

total = tickets + parking + t shirt + meal

tickets = 250 + 6% tax

6% tax is of 250, so this is equal to

250 + 6% of 250

6% = 0.06 because we divide by 100 to convert to a decimal from a percentage

thus, tickets = 250 + 0.06 of 250 = 250 * 1 + 0.06 * 250 + 1.06 * 250 = 265

parking = 20

use a similar strategy from the tickets and apply that to the t shirt

t shirt = 35 + 7 % tax = 35 + 0.07 * 35 = 1.07 * 35 = 37.45

meal = 25

total = 265 + 20 + 37.45 + 25 = $347.45

shutvik [7]
A1 = -7, an = 4(an - 1)
a2 = 4a1 = 4(-7) = -28
a3 = 4a2 = 4(-28) = -112

Therefore, the first six terms are -28, -112, -448, -1792, -7168, -28,672
