Just work it out for one person, then multiply by 5 at the end. 0.25, 0.5, 0.75... It's an arithmetic sequence, with a1 = 0.25, d=0.25, n=31. Plug them in: \[\Large S_n =\frac{ n }{ 2 }[2a_1 + (n-1) d]\] Don't forget to multiply the result by 5.

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Looks about right.

OpenStudy (katecc379):

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Make sure to use parentheses correctly: s31=31/2(.50+(30).25)

OpenStudy (katecc379):

i keep getting 44 for that

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

You're not using your calculator correctly... Type exactly this into google: 31/2*(.50+(30)*.25)

OpenStudy (katecc379):

it doesnt show an answer

OpenStudy (katecc379):

i typed that exactly in my calculator multiple times and get 44

OpenStudy (katecc379):

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Yes.
