Ahmed worked all summer for a bee farmer. Ahmed was paid $400.00 the first week. The farmer paid a $50.00 raise per week for each additional week of employment. Ahmed worked on the bee farm for 8 weeks before his first year of university began.
Ive figured a and b but im confused with question c and d.
a. Write out the first three weeks of earnings. Is this an arithmetic or geometric sequence? Justify
b. Calculate how much Ahmed earned over the 8 weeks of summer.
c. The money Ahmed earned over the summer was used for miscellaneous expenses at university. At the start of the ninth week of school he had $3 000.00 in his bank account. How much money did Ahmed spend each week?
d. The school year is approximately 32 weeks long. Will Ahmed have enough money if he continues to spend his savings at the same rate?
