Question

A theater has 49 seats in the first row 52 seats in the second row 55 seats in the third row how many seats are in the 16th row

Answer 1

94 seats

Explanation:

We solve using Arithmetic sequence formula

an = a + (n + 1)d

Where

a = First term = 49

d = Common difference = 52 - 49 or 55 - 52 = 3

n = 16th row

Hence,

a16 = 49 + (16 - 1)3

a16 = 49 + (15 × 3)

a16 = 49 + 45

a16 = 94

Therefore, the number of seats on the 16th row is 94 seats
