First term ,a=4 , common difference =4-7=-3, n =50
sum of first 50terms= (50/2)[2×4+(50-1)(-3)]
=25×[8+49]×-3
=25×57×-3
=25× -171
= -42925
derivation of the formula for the sum of n terms
Progression, S
S=a1+a2+a3+a4+...+an

S=a1+(a1+d)+(a1+2d)+(a1+3d)+...+[a1+(n−1)d]   →   Equation (1)

S=an+an−1+an−2+an−3+...+a1

S=an+(an−d)+(an−2d)+(an−3d)+...+[an−(n−1)d]   →   Equation (2)

Add Equations (1) and (2)
2S=(a1+an)+(a1+an)+(a1+an)+(a1+an)+...+(a1+an)

2S=n(a1+an)
S=n/2(a1+an)

Substitute an = a1 + (n - 1)d to the above equation, we have
S=n/2{a1+[a1+(n−1)d]}
S=n/2[2a1+(n−1)d]

Jenna and Becca were both selling cookies door to door. Jenna sold 8 boxes of cookies for every 3 boxes of cookies Becca sold. C
LenaWriter [7]
Answer:
Jenna sold 280 boxes, Becca sold 105 boxes.

Step-by-step explanation:
For every 3 boxes B sold, J sold 8 boxes and ended with a total of 385 boxes sold.
3b+8j=385
From how the question is asked, we can assume that each round of sales would equal 11 total sales. (3b+8j=11)
Knowing the sales take place in intervals of 11, we can solve the problem by doing 385/11.
385/11=35
Finally, with 35 rounds of sales happening and knowing Jenna sells 8 while Becca sells 3 at each one, all that's left to do is multiply.
8x35=280
3x35=105
To be sure we can check our answer by adding them together, 280+105=385.
