If Mia sold 2 more hats on each suceeding day, after working 40 days it is expected Mia had sold a total of 1523 hats.

<h3>How many hats will Mia sell everyday?</h3>

Day: Hats

1 = 1
2=3
3 = 5
4=7
5= 9
6=11
7= 13
8= 15
9=17
10=19
11= 21
12=23
13= 25
among others

You can notice the number of hats she will sell follow a pattern as there are only sequential odd numbers.

<h3>How many hats will Mia sell in total?</h3>

By following the sequence let's add the hats she will sell everyday:

1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13 + 15 + 17 + 19 + 21 + 23 + 25 + 27 + 29 + 31 + 33 + 35 + 37 + 39 + 41 + 43 + 45 + 47 + 49 + 51 + 53 + 55 + 57 + 59 + 61 + 63 + 65 + 67 + 69 + 71 + 73 + 75 + 79 = 1523
