Harold has been hired as a salesman. he is paid a flat rate of $375 each week and earns an additional $14.25 commission for each sale. if his goal is to make $717 in one week, how many sales must harold make?

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
