Target is having a Back to School sale where all polo shirts are discounted by 20%. Joshua wants to buy five shirts: two cost $10.98 each, one costs $11.50, and two others cost $15.99 each. Joshua remembered he had a coupon in his pocket that would take an additional 30% of the shirts. Which choice represents the new total cost of the shirts including the sales tax of 6.5%

$39.03

Step-by-step explanation:

Joshua wants to buy five shirts:

Total cost of all shirts:

All polo shirts are discounted by 20%, then the total cost of all shirts is

Joshua had a coupon in his pocket that would take an additional 30% of the shirts, then the total price will be

He has to pay sales tax of 6.5%, so the total price will be

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
