The cost for a business to make greeting cards can be divided into one-time costs (e.g., a printing machine) and repeated costs (e.g., ink and paper). Suppose the total cost to make 300 cards is $900.00, and the total cost to make 650 cards is $1,600.00. What is the total cost to make 1,000 cards? Round your answer to the nearest dollar.
A. $2,100.00
B. $2,300.00
C. $2,500.00
D. $3,000.00

To identify the sequence 3,888, 216, 12, two over three, . . . as arithmetic, geometric, neither, or both, we need to analyze the pattern of the numbers.
- An arithmetic sequence is a sequence where there is a constant difference between consecutive terms.
- A geometric sequence is a sequence where each term is obtained by multiplying the previous term by a constant number.
For the given sequence, let's check if there is a constant difference or a constant ratio between the terms.
3,888 / 216 = 18
216 / 12 = 18
12 / (2/3) = 18
As we can see, there is a constant ratio of 18 between each consecutive term. Therefore, the sequence is geometric.
Answer: B. geometric
To find the expression that describes the rule for the sequence 3, 10, 17, 24, 31, 38, ..., we can observe that each term is obtained by adding 7 to the previous term.
So, the expression that describes the rule for this sequence is:
n + 7
To find the 100th term in the sequence, we substitute n = 100 in the expression:
100 + 7 = 107
Answer: A. n + 7; 707
To find the total cost to make 1,000 cards, we need to determine the cost per card.
Given that the total cost to make 300 cards is $900.00 and the total cost to make 650 cards is $1,600.00, we can calculate the cost per card:
Cost per card = Total cost / Number of cards
For 300 cards:
Cost per card = $900.00 / 300 = $3.00
For 650 cards:
Cost per card = $1,600.00 / 650 = $2.46 (rounded to the nearest cent)
Now, we can find the total cost for 1,000 cards by multiplying the cost per card by 1,000:
Total cost = Cost per card * Number of cards
Total cost = $2.46 * 1,000 ≈ $2,460.00
Rounded to the nearest dollar, the total cost to make 1,000 cards is $2,500.00.
Answer: C. $2,500.00
Regarding the graph showing the number of dollars in Tom's savings account at the beginning of each month last year, we can analyze the pattern.
If we observe the graph, we can see that the number of dollars increased from the 8th to the 10th month. Therefore, the answer is:
Answer: D. The number of dollars increased.
Answer 1: C. neither
Answer 2: C. 7n – 4; 696
To find the 100th term: 7(100) - 4 = 696
Answer 3: B. $2,300.00
First find the cost per card: (1600-900)/(650-300) = $4
Then use the cost per card to find the total cost for 1000 cards: 1000($4) = $4,000
Answer 4: C. The number of dollars decreased. The graph shows a decreasing trend from the 8th month to the 10th month, indicating that the number of dollars in Tom's account decreased during those months.
