A craftsperson makes (8) toys on the first day and (2) more toys each next day. How many toys are made on the (12)th day?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 30

This is an arithmetic progression with first term \(a=8\), common difference \(d=2\), and \(n=12\). The \(n\)th term is \(a_n=a+(n-1)d\). Therefore, \(a_{12}=8+(12-1)\times2=8+22=30\). Hence, 30 toys are made on the 12th day. Adding \(12\times2\) to 8 would incorrectly give 32, because the increase occurs only 11 times after the first day. Exam tip: use \((n-1)d\), not \(nd\), for the \(n\)th term of an AP.
