Mathematics

Answer:

740

Step-by-step explanation:

The n th term of an arithmetic series is

a_{n} = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Given a₃ = 7 and a₇ = (3 × 7) + 2 = 21 + 2 = 23 , then

a₁ + 2d = 7 → (1)

a₁ + 6d = 23 → (2)

Subtract (1) from (2) term by term

4d = 16 ( divide both sides by 4 )

d = 4

Substitute d = 4 into (1)

a₁ + 2(4) = 7

a₁ + 8 = 7 ( subtract 8 from both sides )

a₁ = - 1

The sum to n terms of an arithmetic series is

S_{n} = \frac{n}{2} [ 2a₁ + (n - 1)d ] , thus

S_{20} = \frac{20}{2} [ (2 × - 1) + (19 × 4) ]

     = 10(- 2 + 76) = 10 × 74 = 740

There are 60 tables in a restaurant, with 25% of them seating 2 people.
Ratling [72]
Hello! So, 25% of the 60 tables seat two people. To find this number, multiply 60 by 25%. 60 * 25% (0.25) is 15. 15 of them seat 2 people and 15 * 2 is 30.The other 45 tables seat 4 people. When you multiply both number, you get 180. Now, let's add the numbers together. 180 + 30 is 210. There are 210 seats in the restaurant. The answer is C: 210.
