In a warehouse the first rack has (10) sacks and each next rack has (5) more sacks. How many sacks are there on (7) racks?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 175

The sack counts form an arithmetic progression: 10, 15, 20, ... . Here, \(a=10\), \(d=5\), and \(n=7\). Thus, \(S_7=\frac{7}{2}[2(10)+(7-1)5]=\frac{7}{2}(50)=175\). Therefore, there are 175 sacks on 7 racks. Getting 170 usually results from an error while adding the terms or finding the last term. Exam tip: for a total, use the \(S_n\) formula, not just the \(n\)th-term formula.
