    how many multiples of 5 between 25 and 750 inclusively and show the formula

    which formula am I suppose to use? Sn=a(1-Rn)

    N = (max - min)/k+1


    25 and 105 are divisible by 5. So.....................


    105 - 25 = 80/5 = 16 + 1 = 17

    You used 105 instead of 750, but your logic is perfect.

    I think you should divide 750 by 5  (150) and subtract 4, because you are not going to include the 5 10, 15, and 20, which are multiples of 5 and not included in your parameters of 25 - 750
    There are 20 multiples of 5 in every 100, so 20 x 7 = 140 multiples between 0 and 750.  There would be 1/2 (20) because 50 is half of 100, and you need to add another 10 multiples.  That gives you 150 multiples multiples of 5 between 0 and 750.  Now, subtract the 4, and you get 150-4 = 146


    I'd write the equation like this:   [(20 x 7) + (10 x 1)] - 4 = [140 + 10] - 4 = 150 - 4 = 146


    or, using Chellanne"s formula:  (750 - 25)/5  + 1= 725/5  + 1= 145 + 1 = 146

    In the third grade I had a stinky, old, red math book. At that time, I hated the book. Really. I turned off to math at that time. Somehow I got through Algebra ... but I didn’t go further.
    I think you are soooo smart! Congratulations.
    Now we have something new with Tech every day. (Or at least I do.)

    I am not that smart, itsmee. Muddling thru pre-algebra as a sub and my sons' homework gave me a better understanding. No math for me since algebra 1 back in 1970

    It happened by accident when I was reading pythons comment and I realised I have no votes so ow can I TD if I have no votes? I was showing you on a SEPERATE post as an example..

    Having no vote ups left does not take away from the TDs you have left.
