Answer:

First term a = 3

Sum of first 20 term = 440

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

8th term of AP = 17

12th term of AP = 25

Find:

First term a

Sum of first 20 term

Computation:

8th term of AP = 17

a + 7d = 17 ....... EQ1

12th term of AP = 25

a + 11d = 25 ...... EQ2

From EQ1 and EQ2

4d = 8

d = 2

a + 7d = 17

a + 7(2) = 17

First term a = 3

Sum of first 20 term

Sn = [n/2][2a + (n-1)d]

S20 = [20/2][(2)(3) + (20-1)2]

S20 = [10][(6) + 38]

S20 = [10][44]

S20 = 440

Sum of first 20 term = 440

Waylon is back-to-school shopping with his mom at a large department
levacccp [35]

Answer:

Waylon's Purchase will cost $198.05, and section B depends.

Explanation: Section A is 85% of 233 since thats the total, making the answer to section A $198.05. The answer to section B depends because if he wants more school supplies, then yes, he would want to buy more things for better deals. But if he’s on a budget, then he wouldn't want to spend as much money since saving 20% on something over $300 is more than saving 15% on something over $200.
