A video game set can be bought on hire purchase by making a deposit of $190 and 12 monthly installments of $171 each. Calculate the hire purchase price cost of the video game set.

the purchase price would be $2142

Step-by-step explanation:

90+171×12

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
