A teacher asked to add numbers from (1) to (15). What is the correct sum?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 120

The sum of the first 15 natural numbers is found using \(S_n=\frac{n(n+1)}{2}\). Here, \(n=15\), so \(S_{15}=\frac{15\times16}{2}=120\). Therefore, 120 is the correct answer. 125 may result from an arithmetic error, but applying the formula gives 120. Exam tip: For the sum from 1 to \(n\), use \(\frac{n(n+1)}{2}\).
