Answer 1

$6.50,$6.75,$7.00,$7.25,$7.50,$7.75+

Answer 2

Answer:

Sequence will be $6.50, $6.75, $7.0, $7.25.......

Step-by-step explanation:

Ahmed is working at the burger joint and he was paid by his boss $6.50 per hour.

His boss promised him to raise $0.25 per hour every six months.

So we have to find the sequence which describes Ahmed's expected hourly wages starting with his current wage.

As at every 6 months increase in wages is $0.25 so the sequence formed will be an arithmetic sequence with common difference of 0.25 and first term 6.50

Sequence will be $6.50, $6.75, $7.0, $7.25,.........
