SOLUTION
This is an arithmetic sequence with common difference of 10. The first element is 10, and
total elements are 100 (Total elements in the sequence 10, 20, 30 …, 1000 are 100). And, the
last element is 1000. So, a1 = 10, an = 1000, d = 10 and n = 100. So, by using the formula for
the sum of n elements of an arithmetic sequence, we have
