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

The amount of caffeine consumed from a glass of Diet Pepsi is proportional to the number of ounces that was drank. The table bel
Vilka [71]

Answer:

Constant of proportionality: k=3

Equation: c=3d

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, Direct proportion equations have the following form:

y=kx

Where "k" is the Constant of proportionality.

In this case, let be "c"  the the amount of caffeine consumed  (in mg) from a glass of Diet Pepsi and "d" the number of ounces that was drank.

So, the equation that represents this relationship will have this form:

c=kd

Then, the first step is to find the Constant of proportionality "k".

Knowing that:

c=24;d=8

We can substitute values into the equation:

24=k(8)

Now, solving for "k", we get:

\frac{24}{8}=k\\\\k=3

Therefore, we can write the following equation that represents that proportional relationship:

c=3d

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

35 plants

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we can make the following rule of three:

4 gallons --------------> 14 plants

x --------------------------> 35 plants

From here, we clear the value of x.

We have then:

therefore, 10 gallons are needed to irrigate 35 plants.

Answer:

it will take 10 gallons to water 35 plants
