Find the sum of a geometric series.
20 - 5 + 5/4 - 5/16 + ...
A) 220/7
B) 16
C) 286/13
D) 66

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the given geometric series is

We need to find the sum of given series.

Here, first term is a=20 and common ratio is

The sum of infinite GP is

Substitute .

Therefore, the correct option is B.

mr. flanders’ class sold 47 doughnuts and   mr. rodriquez’s class sold 38 cartons of milk

step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of doughnuts sold by mr. flanders’ class and y be the number of cartons sold by mr. rodriquez’s class.

1. together, the classes sold 85 items, then

x+y=85.

2. both classes earn earned $104.49 for their school. if doughnuts were sold for $1.35 each, then x doughnuts costed $1.35x. if cartons of milk were sold for $1.08 each, then y cartons costed $1.08y. hence,

1.35x+1.08y=104.49.

3. solve the system of two equations:
