In a school (20) new admissions happen on the first day and (4) more admissions happen each next day. How many admissions happen on the (7)th day?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 44

The numbers of admissions form an arithmetic progression with first term \(a=20\) and common difference \(d=4\). The \(n\)th term is \(a_n=a+(n-1)d\). Therefore, \(a_7=20+(7-1)\times4=20+24=44\). Hence, 44 is correct. A common error is to count only 5 increases and obtain 40; there are 6 day-to-day increases from day 1 to day 7. Exam tip: use \(n-1\), not \(n\), when finding the \(n\)th term of an AP.
