There are 22 rows of seats on a concert hall: 23 seats are in the 1st row, 27 seats on the 2nd row, 31 seats on the 3rd row, and

so on. If the price per ticket is $29.99, how much will be the total sales for a one-night concert if all seats are taken?

We can model this situation with an arithmetic series.
we have to find the number of all the seats, so we need to sum up the number of seats in all of the 22 rows.

1st row: 23
2nd row: 27
3rd row: 31
Notice how we are adding 4 each time.

So we have an arithmetic series with a first term of 23 and a common difference of 4.

We need to find the total number of seats. To do this, we use the formula for the sum of an arithmetic series (first n terms):

Sₙ = (n/2)(t₁ + tₙ)

where n is the term numbers, t₁ is the first term, tₙ is the nth term

We want to sum up to 22 terms, so we need to find the 22nd term

Formula for general term of an arithmetic sequence:

tₙ = t₁ + (n-1)d,

where t1 is the first term, n is the term number, d is the common difference. Since first term is 23 and common difference is 4, the general term for this situation is

tₙ = 23 + (n-1)(4)

The 22nd term, which is the 22nd row, is

t₂₂ = 23 + (22-1)(4) = 107

There are 107 seats in the 22nd row.

So we use the sum formula to find the total number of seats:

S₂₂ = (22/2)(23 + 107) = 1430 seats

Total of 1430 seats.
If all the seats are taken, then the total sale profit is

1430 * $29.99 = $42885.70

Find the measure of angle2<br><br> A. 90<br> B. 50<br> C. 60<br> D. 30
galina1969 [7]
I think it is C. 60.
You can eliminate A because it is not a right angle, and D because the angle is bigger than the given angle. So it is between 50 and 60, and I hope this is right and the picture makes sense

Jelly ate 3 apples. This represents 50% of the bag of apples. How many apples were originally in the bag
rjkz [21]
<h3>Answer:  6 apples</h3>

x = number of apples originally

50% of x = 0.50*x = amount of apples eaten = 3

0.50x = 3

x = 3/0.50 ....... divide both sides by 0.50

x = 6

You can think of 50% as 1/2. If 3 apples represent half the bag, then the full bag is 6 apples. So half of 6 is 3.
