Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a₁ = 15

a₂/a₁ = 45/15 = 3

a₃/a₂ = 135/45 = 3

...

It is a geometric sequence with a common ratio r=3.

Sum of first 12 terms = a₁·(1-r¹²)/(1-r)

= 15·(1-3¹²)/(1-3)

= 15·(-531,441)/(-2)

= 3,985,800

irakobra [83]

ANSWER

The percentage decrease is 10.4%.

EXPLANATION

To calculate percentage decrease, use the formula,

Percentage decrease

$= \frac{new \: price - old \: price}{old \: price} \times 100\%$

Yesterday the price of coffee was 2.40. This is the old price.

Today the price is 2.15. This is the new price.

$= \frac{2.15 - 2.40}{2.40} \times 100\%$

$= \frac{ - 0.25}{2.40} \times 100\%$

$= - 0. 10416667 \times 100\%$

$= - 10.416667\%$

To the nearest tenth, we have:

$- 10.4\%$

Therefore the percentage decrease is 10.4%.
