The windows of a downtown office building are arranged so that each floor has six fewer windows than the floor below it. If the ground floor has 52 windows, how many total windows are on the first eight floors?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: The ground floor:  52 windows.
We will use the arithmetic sequence:
a 1 = 52
d = - 6
a n = a 1 + ( n - 1 ) d
a 8 = a 1 + 7 d
a 8 = 52 + 7 * ( - 6 ) = 52 - 42 = 10
S n = n/2 * ( a 1 + a n )
S 8 = 8/2 * ( 52 + 10 ) = 4 * 62 = 248
Answer:
There are 248 windows on the first eight floors.

Nine times a number is three thousand six hundred what is the number?

Answers

The way this should be set up is: 

9a = 3600... 

So you must divide '9' on both sides, canceling out the '9', and making the 3600 to be '400'.. 

So the problem should look like: a = 400 <--- (Answer) 

Hope it helped.. :) 


=>Let the number be a ...=>Nine times the number: 9a ...=>Nine time a no. Is 3600 : 9a = 3600...=>9a = 3600=>a = 3600/9=>a= 400..=>So the number is 400..Hope It helps!!
