Use the equation 300⇒5x to find how much tim made each day on average. 
x⇒60   so, Day 1: $60, Day 2: $70 etc.. so the equation 300=5x+10 suffices the problem. 300⇒5x+10 ⇒    290=5x
x=58
So, Tim earned $58 his first day. Hope this helped.

The given problem is based on arithmetic sequence
Sn = 300 (the sum of money in five days)
d = 10 (the difference day by day)
n = 5
The question asks how much Tim earn on the first day, we write it as a₁

The general formula to find the sum of a sequence is
n/2 (2a₁ + d(n-1)) = Sn

Input the numbers to the formula to find the value of a₁
n/2 (2a₁ + d(n-1)) = Sn
5/2 (2a₁ + 10(5-1)) = 300
5/2 (2a₁ + 10(4)) = 300
5/2 (2a₁ + 40) = 300
2a₁ + 40 = 300 × 2/5
2a₁ + 40 = 120
2a₁ = 120 - 40
2a₁ = 80
  a₁ = 80/2
  a₁ = 40

The first day, Tim earned $40

quester [9]

Answer:

28 numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a distance of 81 between -0.5 and 80.5. Divide this number by 3, since you are only counting every third number and you will get 27, but you need to count the first number, which has been excluded. Add one more to get the answer, 28.
