The document contains 5 math word problems. It provides the questions, solutions, and key for each problem. Problem 1 asks about the number of seats in the 10th row of a theater where each row has 3 more seats than the previous row. Problem 2 asks about the total capacity of the theater if it has 26 rows. Problem 3 involves using tiles in the Fibonacci sequence to determine how many tiles were used if the last was number 610. Problem 4 calculates the number of readers if a book loses half its audience for each equation. Problem 5 finds the total amount of fish caught over 5 days if the daily catch increases 10% each day.

1. A theater is designed in such a way that a row has 3 seats
more than the row in front of it. If the first row can seat nine people, how many seats are there in the tenth row?
2. (refer to the given in item 1) If the theater has 26 rows, what
is the theaters total capacity?
3. Square tiles of length 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, and so on are set on a floor
as shown below.
If the last tile used is of length 610, how many tiles were used?
4. Stephen Hawkings editor supposedly told him that in writing
popular books about math and physics you lose one half your audience for every equation placed in the book. If 50 million copies of a book containing 4 equations is sold, how many readers will actually read the book?
5. Suppose Celso caught 350 kg of tilapia on Monday. From
Monday to Friday, the amount of tilapia fishes he caught increased by 10% per day. What is the total amount of tilapia (in weight) that Celso caught from Monday to Friday? Round your answer to the nearest whole. ANSWER KEY
