Additional Example 3 Application
The senior class held a bake sale. At the
beginning of the sale, there was 20 in the cash
box. Each item in the sale cost 50 cents. At the
end of the sale, there was 63.50 in the cash
box. How many items were sold during the bake
sale?
Identify the arithmetic sequence
20.5, 21, 21.5, 22, . . .
a1 20.5
a1 20.5 money after first sale
d 0.5
d .50 common difference
an 63.5
an 63.5 money at the end of the sale
28
Additional Example 3 Continued
Let n represent the item number of cookies sold
that will earn the class a total of 63.50. Use
the formula for arithmetic sequences.
an a1 (n 1) d
Solve for n.
63.5 20.5 (n 1)(0.5)
Distributive Property.
63.5 20.5 0.5n 0.5
63.5 20 0.5n
Combine like terms.
Subtract 20 from both sides.
43.5 0.5n
Divide both sides by 0.5.
87 n
During the bake sale, 87 items are sold in order
for the cash box to contain 63.50.

Check It Out Example 3
Johnnie is selling pencils for student council.
At the beginning of the day, there was 10 in his
money bag. Each pencil costs 25 cents. At the end
of the day, he had 40 in his money bag. How many
pencils were sold during the day?
Identify the arithmetic sequence 10.25, 10.5,
10.75, 11,
a1 10.25
a1 10.25 money after first sale
d 0.25
d .25 common difference
an 40
an 40 money at the end of the sale

Check It Out Example 3 Continued
Let n represent the number of pencils in which he
will have 40 in his money bag. Use the formula
for arithmetic sequences.
an a1 (n 1)d
40 10.25 (n 1)(0.25)
Solve for n.
40 10.25 0.25n 0.25
Distributive Property.
Combine like terms.
40 10 0.25n
Subtract 10 from both sides.
30 0.25n
120 n
Divide both sides by 0.25.
120 pencils are sold in order for his money bag
to contain 40.
