Vocabulary sequence term arithmetic sequence common difference
A sequence is a list of numbers or objects, called terms, in a certain order. In an arithmetic sequence, the difference between one term and the next is always the same. This difference is called the common difference. The common difference is added to each term to get the next term.

You can use the formula for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence to solve for other variables.
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 Let a1 = 20.5 = money after first sale. d = 0.5 an = 63.5
Additional Example 3 Continued Let n represent the item number in which the cash box will contain $63.50. Use the formula for arithmetic sequences. an = a1 + (n – 1) d 63.5 = 20.5 + (n – 1)(0.5) Solve for n. Distributive Property. 63.5 = 20.5 + 0.5n – 0.5 63.5 = 20 + 0.5n Combine like terms. 43.5 = 0.5n Subtract 20 from both sides. 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.
Try This: 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 Let a1 = 10.25 = money after first sale. d = 0.25 an = 40
Try This: 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.
