Marietta was given a raise of $0.25 per hour, which gave her a new wage of $13.00 per hour. enter and solve and euation to determine marietta's hourly wage, x, before the raise. complete the explanation to show that your answer is reasonable. the equation is (blank) = 13.00 marietta's hourly wage before the raise was $(blank). marietta received a raise that was less than $1.00 per hour, so her new hourly wage should be less than $(blank)+ $1 = $13.75. her new hourly wage of $13.00 is less than $13.75, so the answer is reasonable. fill in the "(blanks)"

The equation is ($13.00- $.25) =$13.00 Marietta's hourly wage before the raise was $($12.75). $13.00- $.25 = $12.75 Marietta received a raise that was less than $1.00 per hour, so her new hourly wage should be less than $($12.75)+ $1 = $13.75. Her new hourly wage of $13.00 is less than $13.75, so the answer is reasonable .25 per hour add to $12.75 = $13.00 per hour

step-by-step explanation:

(a) {a₁, a₁r, a₁r², … a₁rⁿ⁻¹, …}

(b) $59 398

step-by-step explanation:

(a) the annual sequence of profits

aₙ = a₁rⁿ⁻¹

the model for the sequence of profits is {a₁, a₁r, a₁r², … a₁rⁿ⁻¹, …} .

(b) profit after 15 yr

  a₁ = $ 30 000

  r = 1.05

a₁₅ = 30 000 × 1.05¹⁴

a₁₅ = 30 000 × 1.979 93

a₁₅ = $59 398

the profit in year 15 will be $59 398.
