Yes. When 54 is divided by 9, the result is 6 with no remainder. Also, 54 can be written as the product of 9 and 6.

The last digit is 0, so 45,730 is divisible by 5, since the rule states that if the last digit is 0 or 5, the original number is divisible by 5.
3.3
3.4
1.
The last digit is even, so 2 divides 43,568. The sum of the digits is 26. Since 26 is not divisible by 3, neither is 43,568. The rule for divisibility by 6 is that the number be divisible by both 2 and 3. Since 43,568 is not divisible by 3, it is not divisible by 6.
3.5

1.
The number formed by the last two digits of 43,568 is 68 and 68 is divisible by 4. Since the number formed by the last two digits of 43,568 is divisible by 4, so is 43,568.

We want the original price of the item, which is the total. We know the percent, 40, and the percentage of the total, $30. To find the original cost, use \frac{{100\,\times \,{x}}}{{n}}, with x = 30 and n\,{\text{ = }}\,{\text{40}}. Calculating with those values yields \frac{{100\, \times \,30}}{{40}}\, = \,75. So, the original was $75.

9 \times 8 = 99\. Using that, the problem can be changed to 99 \times 8. Change to 99 = (100 - 1). Using the distributive property, 99 \times 8 = (100 - 1) \times 8 = 100 \times 8 - 1 \times 8 = 800 - 8 = 792.

This is not an arithmetic sequence. The difference between terms 1 and 2 is 2, but between terms 3 and 4 the difference is 4. The differences are not the same.

This is an (infinite) arithmetic sequence. Every term is the previous term plus 6. The ellipsis indicates the pattern continues.

No. The difference from term 1 to term 2 is different than the difference from term 4 to term 5.
