Answer:

425.25


Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are given 36th term as 14 and we know common difference is \frac{1}{8}, it means that from the first term, we add \frac{1}{8} to each and get 14 on the 36th term. To figure out the first term, thus, we have to subtract \frac{1}{8} 35 times from 14. Let's do it to get first term:

14-35(\frac{1}{8})=\frac{77}{8}=9.625

The sum of arithmetic sequence formula is:

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

Where,

  • S_{n} is the sum of nth term (we want to figure this out for first 36 terms)
  • a is the first term (we figured this out to be 9.625)
  • n is the term number (36 for our case)
  • d is the common difference (given as \frac{1}{8})

Substituting all the values, we get:

S_{36}=\frac{36}{2}[2(9.625)+(36-1)(\frac{1}{8})]\\S_{36}=18[19.25+4.375]\\S_{36}=18[23.625]\\S_{36}=425.25

First answer choice is right.

ANSWER

S_ {36} = 425.25


EXPLANATION

Since we know the 36th term to be 14, we can find the first term using the formula,

u_n= a+(n-1)d



This implies that,


14= a+(36-1) \times  \frac{1}{8}




14 = a +  \frac{35}{8}

a = 14 -  \frac{35}{8}



a =9.625


We can now find the sum of the first 36 terms using the formula,

S_n= \frac{n}{2} (2a + (n - 1)d)

S_  {36}  = \frac{36}{2} (2 \times 9.625+ (36 - 1) \times  \frac{1}{8} )


S_ {36}= 18(2 \times 9.625+ (35) \times  \frac{1}{8} )



S_ {36}= 18(23.625 ) = 425.25

One adult ticket costs £11 and one child ticket costs £8.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Adult ticket = a

Child ticket = c

According to given statement;

3a+4c=67   Eqn 1

5a+6c=106   Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 5;

5(3a+4c=67)\\15a+20c=335\ \ \ Eqn\ 3

Multiplying Eqn 2 by 3;

3(5a+6c=106)\\15a+18c=318\ \ \ Eqn\ 4

Subtracting Eqn 4 from Eqn 3

(15a+20c)-(15a+18c)=335-318\\15a+20c-15a-18c=17\\2c=17\\

Dividing both sides by 2

\frac{2c}{2}=\frac{17}{2}\\c=8.5

Putting c=8.5 in Eqn 1

3a+4(8.5)=67\\3a+34=67\\3a=67-34\\3a=33

Dividing both sides by 3;

\frac{3a}{3}=\frac{33}{3}\\a=11

One adult ticket costs £11 and one child ticket costs £8.5
