Answer:

51 response

Step-by-step explanation:

A geometric sequence, is a type of sequence of numbers where each term after the first is found by multiplying the previous one by a fixed, non-zero number called the common ratio.

where

a_n= a(r)^n-1

a_n----> term of the sequence

r ---> is the common ratio

a ---> the first term of the sequence

n___ number of terms

substitute

For n=13

a= 180

r= 100-10=90 90/100= 0.90

a_n= 180(0.90)^13-1

an = 180((0.90)^12

an = 180(0.2824)= 50.83 = 51 (approximately)

therefore, there will be 51 response
