Step-by-step explanation:

the introduction of a fraction tells us that we are dealing with multiplications, and therefore a geometric sequence (where every new term is created by multiplying the previous term by a constant factor, the ratio r).

I think your teacher made a mistake, or you made one when typing the question in here.

there is no factor r that creates

15×r = 9

and

9×r = 5/27

it would mean that

15 × r² = 5/27

r² = 5/27 / 15 = 5/27 × 1/15 = 5/405 = 1/81

r = 1/9

but 15 × 1/9 = 5 × 1/3 = 5/3 is NOT 9

and 9 × 1/9 = 9/9 = 1 is NOT 5/27

so, this can't be right.

on the other hand

15 × r = 9

r = 9/15 = 3/5

and then

9 × 3/5 = 27/5

so, either the sequence should have been

15, 5/3, 5/27

or (and I suspect this to be true)

15, 9, 27/5

under that assumption we have

s1 = 15

r = 3/5

sn = sn-1 × r = s1 × r^(n-1) = 15 × (3/5)^(n-1)

s10 = 15 × (3/5)⁹ = 15 × 19683/1953125 =

= 3 × 19683/390625 = 59049/390625 =

= 0.15116544 ≈ 0.151

If natalie and her friends decide to rent 4 lanes at reguler cost for a party ten people need to rent shoes and 4 people are mem
taurus [48]

The question is missing a tabular data. So, it is attached below.

Answer:

The total cost for the party is $74.50.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Lanes rented at regular cost = 4

Cost of 1 lane rented  at regular cost = $9.75

Cost of 1 lane rented for members = $7.50

Cost of 1 shoe rental at regular cost(non members) = $3.95

Cost of 1 shoe rental for members = $2.95

Since, lanes are rented at regular cost, we use unit rate at regular cost

So, cost of 4 lanes rented = 4\times 9.75= \$ 39

Now, out of 10 people who rented shoes, 4 are members. So, the number of non-members is given as:

Non members who rented shoes = 10 - 4 = 6

So, 4 members and 6 nonmembers rented shoes.

So, cost of 6 non members renting shoes = 6\times 3.95=\$ 23.70

Cost of 4 members renting shoes = 4\times 2.95=\$ 11.80

Total cost for the party is the sum of all the costs. This gives,

= 39 + 11.80 + 23.70

= 50.80 + 23.70

= $74.50

Therefore, the total cost for the party is $74.50.
