He carries on making 2 more quarts of orange juice every day than the day before. In how many days will he make a total of 80 pints of orange juice?
Step 2: Concept
Apply number series theorem
Step 3: Method
Monday = 4
Tuesday = 6
Wenesday = 8
.
.
.
Therefore, the sequence of numbers = 4, 6, 8, 10...
Let n represent number of days to make 80 pints of orange juice
Given data
a = 4 first term
d = 2 common difference
n = ?
Step 4: Final answer
It will take 39 days to make 80 pints of orange juice.
