The manager of a store orders balance beams that cost $550 and sells them for $704. what percentage is the mark-up?

28%

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage mark up = (new - original) / original  * 100 %

     new = 704

     original =  550                              

Substituting these values in

     Percentage mark up = (704 - 550) / 550  * 100 %

                                         =154/550 * 100%

                                         =.28*100%

                                            28%

(a) the volume of the cone is 20/3 in3

hence, option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote , , , so that we can call

note the following:

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from , to get to , we add

from , to get to , we add

etc.

we need to form a recursive formula, a formula that has the next term as a function of the previous term. so a possible recursive formula can be
