Since the profit in the first week is $70

Since it increases by $15 each week, then

We can solve it as an arithmetic progression

P = a + (n -1)d, where

a is the profit in the 1st week

d is the value of increasing each week

n is the number of the week

a = 70, d = 15, and n = 12 (12th week)

Substitute these values in the rule above

P = 70 + (12 - 1)(15)

P = 70 + 11(15)

P = 70 + 165

P = 235

The profit during the 12th week is $235
