For this case, the arithmetic sequence is given by:
an = 17n-1
Let's check it:
First week:
n = 1:
a1 = 17 (1) -1
a1 = 17-1
a1 = 16
Second week:
n = 2:
a2 = 17 (2) -1
a2 = 34-1
a2 = 33
Third week:
n = 3:
a3 = 17 (3) -1
a3 = 51-1
a3 = 50
Answer:
the explicit rule for the arithmetic sequence that defines the number of boxes of cereal sold in week n is:
an = 17n-1
<span>a. m∠L=58.1m∠L=58.1, m∠T=88.5m∠T=88.5, m∠D=33.4m∠D=33.4</span>
The formula to figure out the percentage increase or decrease is:
<span>(new - old) / old * 100% </span>
<span>new = 60 </span>
<span>old = 72 </span>
<span>(60 - 72) / 72 * 100% </span>
<span>-12 / 72 * 100% </span>
<span>= -1/6 * 100% </span>
<span>= -0.1666... * 100% </span>
<span>≈ -16.667% </span>
<span>Because it is negative, that's a decrease. </span>
<span>Answer: </span>
<span>A decrease of about 16.7%</span>
<span>The answer is </span><span>x </span><span>= - 1 i am positive</span>
First put 54 over X in a fraction. 54/x
<span>Then put 75 over 100. 75/100 </span>
<span>Then you cross multiply. 75(x)= 54(100) </span>
<span>Simplify. 75x = 5400 </span>
<span>Divide. x=72 </span>
<span>Your answer is 72
