11 weeks are required for Riley to work to save enough money to buy the new television

Solution:

Given that Riley needs a total of $1,049.77

Riley has saved $200.79 already and earns $77.18 per week at her job

To find: Number of weeks Riley need to work to save enough money to buy the new television

Remaining amount needed = $1,049.77 - $200.79

Remaining amount needed = $ 848.98

Let "n" be the number of weeks Riley need to work to save enough money to buy the new television

Also she earns $77.18 per week at her job

1 week ⇒ $ 77.18

"n" weeks ⇒ $ 848.98

Therefore, by cross multiplication,

$n \times 77.18 = 1 \times 848.98\\\\n = \frac{848.98}{77.18}\\\\n = 11$

Therefore 11 weeks are required for her to work to save enough money to buy the new television

Method 2:

Total amount = amount already saved + ($77.18 per week at her job)("n" weeks)

1,049.77 = 200.79 + (77.18)(n)

1049.77 - 200.79 = 77.18n

848.98 = 77.18n

$n = \frac{848.98}{77.18}$

n = 11

Therefore 11 weeks are required for her to work to save enough money to buy the new television

$a_1 = 1$ , and

$a_{n+1} = a_n + (n + 1)$ for $n \ge 1$

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote $a_1 = 1$ , $a_2 = 3$ , $a_3 = 6$ , so that we can call

1 the 1st term, 3 the 2nd term, 6 the 3rd term,etc.

note the following:

from the 1st term (1) to the 2nd term (3), we go up by 2,from the 2nd term (3) to the 3rd term (6), we go up by 3from the 3rd term (6) to the 4th term (10), we go up by 4, andfrom the 4th term (10) to the 5th term (15), we go up by 5.

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from $a_1 = 1$ , to get to $a_2 = 3$ , we add $2(=1+1)$

from $a_2 = 3$ , to get to $a_3 = 6$ , we add $3 (=2+1)$

etc.

we need to form a recursive formula, a formula that has the next term as a function of the previous term. so a possible recursive formula can be

$a_1 = 1$ , and $a_{n+1} = a_n +(n + 1)$ for $n \ge 1$
