The wood on the back deck of a house needs waterproofing. The shape of the deck is a rectangle with the length of 40 feet and a width of 3 yards. A gallon can of
waterproof stain covers 50 square feet and costs $19.99 per can plus 8% sales tax.
You go to the hardware store to purchase the waterproof stain needed to complete
the job. You give the cashier $150. How much change do you receive, or how much
additional cash must you find in order to be able to pay for all of the stain you need?
You must show all calculations.
Area of Rectangle = length X width
You cannot split up a can of stain.
You must show all calculations.

step-by-step explanation:

part a. the differences are decreasing, so we know the sequence is not arithmetic. the ratios are constant (=3/4), so we know the sequence is geometric.

part b. from part a, we know the common ratio is 3/4, so each term is 3/4 of the one before. the initial term is the number of gallons at h=1.

g[h] = (3/4)·g[h-1]

g[1] = 384 . . . . initial value required for a recursive definition

part c. the general formula for a geometric sequence is

a[n] = a[1]·r^(n-1)

we have a[1] = 384, r = 3/4, and the term number given by h. the formula that follows is

g[h] = 384·(3/4)^(h-1)

part d. filling in the value and doing the arithmetic, we have

g[12] = 384·(3/4)^11 ≈ 384·0.042235136 ≈ 16.2183 . . gallons

part e. each gallon is 4 quarts, so

16.2183 gal × 4 qt/gal = 64.8732 qt

the answer is 40.

proof:

113.42

i hope that is right.
