Solution: Solution: Solution:

Find the first term - An = A1 + (n - 1) d An = A1 + (n - 1) d
An = A1 + (n - 1) d A20 = 53.5 + (20 – 1) A30 = 68 + (30 – 1) 8
A3 = A1 + (3 – 1) 10 13.50 A30 = 68 + (29) 8
25 = A1 + (2) 10 A20 = 53.5 + (19) A30 = 68 + 232
25 = A1 + 20 13.50 A30 = 300
25 – 20 = A1 A20 = 53.5 + 256.5
A1 = 5 A20 = 310 F.A: Therefore, his
money which 300
Find the eleventh term - F.A: Therefore, his pesos is just enough
An = A1 + (n - 1) d money which is 300 to pay 300 pesos total
A11 = 5 + (11 – 1) 10 pesos is not enough to delivery fee.
A11 = 5 + (10) 10 pay the 310 pesos taxi
A11 = 5 + 100 fare
A11 = 105

F.A: Therefore, his

money which is 100
pesos is not enough
to pay the 105 pesos
parking fee.
