The number of chairs in each row is represented by the sequence 27, 32, 37, ....
The total number of chairs is then represented by the series 27, 32, 37, ....
Since 3227=5 and 3732=5, then the number of chairs in each row is represented by an arithmetic sequence with a first term of a1=27 and a a common difference of d=5.
The total number of chairs will then be found using the partial arithmetic sum formula Sn=n(a1+an)2​. It is given that the theater has 10 rows so n=10. To use this formula when n=10, you must then find a10.
The nnth term of an arithmetic sequence is an=a1+(n1)d. Therefore:
a10
=27+(101)(5)
=27+9(5)
=27+45
=72
The total number of chairs is then:
Sn=n(a1+an)2 Partial sum formula.
S10=10(27+72)2 Substitute n=10,a1=27 and a10=72
=5(99)
495
The theater then has 495 chairs.
