Karen invited 150 friends to her 15th birthday party, but not everyone can attend, Karen’s mother want one adult for every 25 of her friends. The cost of food is $20 for every four of her friends, and the adults eat for free. If a total of 116 people (including Karen and her mother) go to the party, how many are adults and how many are Karen’s friends? How much will the food cost?

arithmetic sequence

step-by-step explanation:

given that a sequence has terms as

19, 15, 11,

this is represented on a graph

the pattern indicates that the sequence is an arithmetic sequence with i term

a=19 and common difference d =-4

any general term

thus the sequence is reduced by 4 for each successive term starting from 1 and nth term is

24-5n.

first negative term would start after 5th term

5th term =24-25< 0

from 5th term onwards the sequence would be negative.

so, converting firstly the mixed fractions to improper fractions and then "adding".

but which class are u may know that first

the 8 in 8,420 is in the thousands place so it's value is 8 thousand.

the 8 in 6,870 is in the hundreds place so it's value is 8 hundred.

divide 8000 by 800 to find the answer:

8000 / 800 = 10

the 8 in 8,420 is 10 times greater than the 8 in 6,870
