Answer:
Mrs. Snitch will leave a tip of $8.40.
Step-by-step explanation:
$8.40 is 15% 0f 56.00.
If it is geometric then
if the terms are a,b,c,d then
b/a=c/b=d/c
so
-54/-81=-36/-54=-24/-36?
2/3=2/3=2/3
and that is the common ratio
it is geomertic and common ratio is 2/3
So it is really easy to solve firstly we can see how much does the first 10 boxes make which makes around 55$ obviously. Secondly 45$ for the next 10 boxes.
So for now we can simply calculate that we have spent around 100$ which means 20 boxes. The remaining money left is 77$ so we can buy 77/3.5 = 22 only 22 boxes with that money. Hence a total of 42 boxes.
