The first row of a theatre has (20) seats and each next row has (2) more seats. How many seats are there in (16) rows?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 560

The seat counts form an arithmetic progression with first term \(a=20\), common difference \(d=2\), and number of terms \(n=16\). Thus, \(S_{16}=\frac{16}{2}[2(20)+(16-1)\times2]=8(70)=560\). Therefore, there are 560 seats in 16 rows. An answer such as 540 can result from incorrectly finding the last term or the number of terms. Exam tip: In AP word problems, identify \(a\), \(d\), and \(n\) before applying the formula for \(S_n\).
