Question

Can someone help me set this problem up ??


Macy purchased a box of cereal that contained 567 grams of cereal. Each day, she ate 52 grams for breakfast. Write a sequence to show how much cereal she had left after each of the 4 days.

Answer 1

each day she had 52 grams less so we have the sequence
567 , 567-52, 567 - 2(52), 567 - 3(52)

this is an arithmetic sequence with common difference 52

Answer 2

you have to keep subtracting 52 every day and that's how you get the sequence.

Answer 3

each term is 567-n(52) starting with n=0

Answer 4

\[\large \sum_{n=0} 567- n(52) \]
