Tabitha wants to find the total cost of a new tablet computer that has a origanall cost of $360 from a store having a 20% sales tax

ANSWER: $432

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

The cost of the tablet is $360

Then Tabitha has to pay 20% sales tax.

The tax is the prices times 20%  plus the original price

360 ( 1+ 0.2)

360 (1.2)

=432

see explanation

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
