Arithmetic Series : C1 Edexcel January 2013 Q7c
7. Sian played an adventure game. She scored points for each dragon that she captured.
The number of points that Sian scored for capturing each successive dragon formed an
arithmetic sequence.
Sian captured n dragons and the total number of points that she scored for capturing
all n dragons was 8500.
Given that Sian scored 300 points for capturing her first dragon and then 700 points for
capturing her nth dragon,
(c) find the value of n
