a_1 = 7 \\ a_n =  - 2a_{n - 1} \\ a_2 =  - 2a_1 =  - 2(7) =  - 14 \\ a_3 =  - 2a_2 =  - 2( - 14) = 28 \\ a_4 =  - 2a_3 =  - 2(28) =  - 56 \\ a_5 =  - 2a_4 =  - 2( - 56) = 112

A shop sells chocolate, vanilla and strawberry ice creams. 45% of the ice creams sold are vanilla, and 1/4 are strawberry. What
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

30%

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we want percentage, we need to convert 1/4th to percentage first.

We will divide, get decimal, and then multiply by 100 to get percentage.

1/4 = 0.25

0.25 * 100 = 25%

Now, we can say:

45% + 25% + chocolate = 100%

70% + chocolate = 100%

chocolate = 100 - 70 = 30

Chocolate = 30%

John enlarged one side of his square flower bed by 8 ft to make it into a rectangle. The area of the new flower bed is 3 times t
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

4 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can consider the orignial square's sides to be x, so area of the original figure: x^{2}

The new rectangle's sides will be x and x+8, so the area of the new figure will be x^2+8x.

We know that the new area is 3 times the old one. So our equation will be:

x^2+8x=3x^2

our answer will be x=4.

Therfore, the length of the side of the old flower bed is 4 ft.

It's a y=mx+b equation, Carries' would be y=1/2 x - 125 (total profit is equal to the cupcake amount, each sold for 50 cents - the startup cost of 125). Juanita's would be y=2.25x-125. Comparing Carries' to Juanita's sales would mean that you would multiply x by 3 (no less than 3 times the ..). I may elaborate further on comparing in the comment section
