Answer:

The total amount Christian spent to win a prize is $25 A

Explanation:

Let us solve the question

∵ The rule is On = Q1 + (n - 1)d

∵ A basketball game awards a prize if Christian can shoot a basket

∵ The charge is $5.00 for the first shot

→ That means the first amount is 5

Q1 = 5

∵ Then $2.00 for each additional shot

→ That means the common difference is 2

d = 2

∵ Christian needed 11 shots to win a prize

→ That means the number of shots is 11

n = 11

→ Substitute the values of Q1, d, n in the rule above

On = 5 + (11 - 1)(2)

∴ On = 5 + (10)(2)

∴ On = 5 + 20

On = 25

The total amount Christian spent to win a prize is $25
