Answer: There are 875 fans the bus deliver to the concert in total.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

On the first trip, the bus dropped off = 30

Here a = first term = 30

On the 14 trip, the last trip, the bus dropped off = 95

i.e.
a_(14)=95

So, the total number of fans the bus deliver to the concert is given by


S_(14)=(n)/(2)(a+a_n)\\\\S_(14)=(14)/(2)(30+95)\\\\S_(14)=7(30+95)\\\\S_(14)=125* 7\\\\S_(14)=875

Hence, there are 875 fans the bus deliver to the concert in total.
