In order to solve this problem, you need to use a geometric series:

where:
a₁ = first term of the series = 36000
r = common rate = 10% raise, therefore 1.10
n = number of terms = 5

you just divide 7 by 8, and you would get 0.875
7/8=0.875
Answer:
9/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Value of a in term of x = 8/x
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
14 = ax + 6
Find:
Value of a in term of x
Computation:
⇒ 14 = ax + 6
Step 1; Subtract 6 from both side
⇒ 14 - 6 = ax + 6 - 6
We get step 2
⇒ 8 = ax
Divide x from both side and we get step 3
⇒ 8 / x = ax / x
Step 4
⇒ 8/x = a
Step 5
⇒ a = 8/x
Value of a in term of x = 8/x
If Manfred hiked 2/7 of a 588 mile trail, then to find how many miles he has hiked all we need to do is multiply the total miles (588) by what fraction of the miles he has traveled (2/7):
588 * 2/7 = 1176 / 7 = 168
Therefore, Manfred hiked 168 miles.
