To celebrate the first day of school, Marie brought in a tray of caramel brownies and walnut brownies. The tray had a total of 10 brownies, of which 10% were caramel. How many caramel brownies did Marie bring?

Marie has 1 caramel brownie

Step-by-step explanation:

10 percent of 10 is 1

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

c. (3,2,6) is the answer.
