A sum of rs 2700 is to be used to give eight cash prizes to student of a school for their overall academic performance. If each prize is rs 25 more than its preciding prize find the value of each of the prizes

Answer»

Let the first cash prize = x

so NEXT 7 cash PRIZES would be consecutive

that is x+25, x+50, x+75, x+100, x+125, x+150, x+175


Adding all gives x + x+25 + x+50 + x+75 + x+100 + x+125 + x+150 + x+175 = 2700

8x + 700 = 2700

8x = 2000

x = 250


So value of first prize = 250

all consecutive prize will be 250 + 25= 275

250 + 50= 300

250 + 75= 325

250 + 100= 350

250 + 125= 375

250 + 150= 400

250 + 175= 425
