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 |
