In a flower decoration the first row has (7) flowers and each next row has (4) more flowers. How many flowers are there in (9) rows?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 207

The flower counts form an arithmetic progression with first term \(a=7\), common difference \(d=4\), and \(n=9\) terms. Thus, \(S_9=\frac{9}{2}[2(7)+(9-1)4]=\frac{9}{2}(46)=207\). Therefore, there are 207 flowers in 9 rows. A value such as 216 can result from incorrectly treating a row value as the total. Exam tip: when a word problem asks for the total, use \(S_n\), not only \(a_n\).
