Ellie colors 20% of the total shapes on her paper. she colors 10 shapes. enter the number of shapes on ellie's paper.

50 shapes

Step-by-step explanation:

If 20% is 10 shapes, then 30% would be 15, 40% would be 20, and so forth. when you get to 100%, the answer would be 50 shapes because the numbers of shapes is half the percentage. For example, 5% is 2.5 shapes, 10% is 5 shapes, 60% is 30 shapes.

would appreciate brainliest, but I am content with just giving you an answer :)

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
