The first term of an arithmetic sequence is 14. the 25th term is 206. what is the common difference of the arithmetic sequence?

an = a1+ d(n-1)

a1 =14

an=206  when n=25

206 = 14 + d (25-1)

206 = 14 + d * 24

subtract 14 from each side

192 = 24d

divide by 24 on each side

d=8

The common difference is 8

answer set (b) 0.5, 3/4 80% is in order from least to greatest.  

step-by-step explanation:

in order to compare rational numbers to each other, it is much easier if they are in the same form.   typically, the best form in which to evaluate rational numbers is in decimals.   in order to convert a percent to a decimal, you would divide the given percentage by 100.   you can also accomplish the conversion by moving the decimal point over two places to the left.   for example, the decimal value of 80% is 80/100, or 0.8.   in order to convert a fraction to a decimal, you need to divide the numerator by the denominator.   for example, 3/4 is 0.75.   so, for choice (b) 0.5 3/4 (0.75), 80% (0.8) is the only choice in which the numbers are in order from least to greatest.
