The sum of the terms of a geometric sequence with common ratio lesser than 1 is calculated through the equation,
Sn = (a1) x (1 - r^n) / (1 - r)
Substituting the known values,
S5 = (6) x (1 - (1/3)^5) / (1 - 1/3) = 242/27
Thus, the sum of the first five terms is approximately equal to 8.96.
Answer:
12-x=y
Step-by-step explanation:
Is that the full question, because it doesn't make sense to me :/
If Erica earned a total of $15450 last year from both the jobs then he earns $2840 from college if she earned 1250 more than four times the amount from college from store.
Given Total amount earned=$15450,Amount earned from store is 1250 more than 4 times earned from college.
Amount from store forms an equation.
let the amount earned from college is x.
According to question:
Amount earned from store=4x+1250
Amount earned from college=x
Total amount earned=4x+1250+x
5x+1250=15450
5x=15450-1250
5x=14200
x=14200/5
x=2840
Put the value of x in 4x+1250 to get amount earned from store=4(2840)+1250=$12610.
Hence the amount earned by Erica from college is $2840.
