Answer:

S₇ = 672

Explanation:

If there are 7 consecutive numbers and the largest is 99, then there are 6 smaller consecutive numbers:

Smallest number = 99-6 = 93

The sequence is 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99.

Where:

a₁ = 93

an = 99

n = 7

Sum of the sequence:

Sn = n/2(a₁ + an)

S₇ = 7/2 (93 + 99)

S₇ = 7/2 (192)

S₇ = 7(96)

S₇ = 672
