The answer should be 32.25
Answer: 912
===================================
Work Shown:
The starting term is a1 = 3. The common difference is d = 5 (since we add 5 to each term to get the next term). The nth term formula is
an = a1+d(n-1)
an = 3+5(n-1)
an = 3+5n-5
an = 5n-2
Plug n = 19 into the formula to find the 19th term
an = 5n-2
a19 = 5*19-2
a19 = 95-2
a19 = 93
Add the first and nineteenth terms (a1 = 3 and a19 = 93) to get a1+a19 = 3+93 = 96
Multiply this by n/2 = 19/2 = 9.5 to get the final answer
96*9.5 = 912
I used the formula
Sn = (n/2)*(a1 + an)
where you add the first term (a1) to the nth term (an), then multiply by n/2
-----------------
As a check, here are the 19 terms listed out and added up. We get 912 like expected.
3+8+13+18 +23+28+33+38 +43+48+53+58 +63+68+73+78 +83+88+93 = 912
There are 19 values being added up in that equation above. I used spaces to help group the values (groups of four; except the last group which is 3 values) so it's a bit more readable.
Answer:
The correct answer is B
Step-by-step explanation:
First, the question said that the shoes were $15 less than double the price of his pants. In algebra 2p would mean 2 multiplied by p so we know that C and D are wrong. Now $15 less than 2p would mean you have to subtract by 15, so now we have 2p-15. Since we haven't added in the amount of money the pair of pants cost, we have to use addition to add it in, and that adds to the equation making the equation 2p - 15 + p. So, the answer is B.
That means you are multipliying 10,000,000 by 280,509,031...
