Miguel sells boxes of cookies for $8 each. Donna sells boxes of cookies for $10 each. Each of them sold the same dollar amount. It was the smallest dollar amount for which this was possible.
Answer the following questions.
How many boxes did Miguel sell?

$40

Step-by-step explanation:

You find the LCM (least common multiple). To do this, you can use prime factorization.

(there is an below that shows the prime factorization tree for 8 and 10)

so, the only common prime factor is 2. you use the 2 and multiply with the remaining prime factors.

5*2 --> for 10

2*2*2 -->for 8

becomes

5*2*2*2

if you multiply that out, it becomes 40.

Another method is to just think: "What can they both become after being multiplied by a number?"  or "What can 8 and 10 both be?"

Anyway, the answer is 40. Hope this helps!

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

rick has $1400 and sally has $1500

step-by-step explanation:

to find amount of money rick has after 10 years :

principal = $1000 , time = 10 years , rate = 4% annually

to find amount of money sally has after 10 years :

her friend gives to pay her $50 per year, therefore money she has after 10 years = 50 × 10 = $500

also, sally gets $1000 after 10 years,

therefore, total amount of money sally has after 10 years = 500 + 1000 = $1500

so, after 10 years : rick has $1400 and sally has $1500
