Example 3 – Word Problem A student is offered a job with a math teacher that will last 20 hours. The first option pays $4.75 for the first hour, $5 for the second hour, $5.25 for the next hour, and so on. The second option pays $7/h for all hours worked. Which option pays more? 20 20 20 The amount earned by the first option is $ The amount earned by the second option is $7 x 20 = $140. So, the first option pays more. Arithmetic Series © 2018 E.
