Casey has a small business making dessert baskets. she estimates that her fixed weekly costs for rent, electricity, and salaries are $200. the ingredients for one dessert basket cost $2.50. casey’s total costs for last week were $500. how many dessert baskets did she make?
a.
300
b.
12
c.
120
d.
280

120

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, she made b baskets of desserts.

One basket cost is $ 2.5

Therefore, the cost of b baskets = 2.5 b dollars

Since, Her fixed weekly costs for rent, electricity, and salaries are $200.

Thus, her total expenses = Her fixed weekly costs for rent, electricity, and salaries + The cost of b baskets

= 200 + 2.5 b

Therefore,  200 + 2.5 b = 500

⇒ 2.5 b = 300

⇒ b = 120

⇒ Total number of dessert baskets = 120

step-by-step explanation:

since the sequence is geometric there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 2

r = - 8 ÷ 4 = - 2

r = 16 ÷ 8 = - 2

the next term - 13 must be incorrect as it should be - 32 for the sequence to be geometric.

the first 4 terms are therefore geometric with common ratio r = - 2
