Arithmetic Sequence
6. A boy saves some money over a period of 60 weeks. He saves 10p in week 1, 15p in week 2, 20p in week 3 and so on until week 60. His weekly savings form an arithmetic sequence.

(a) Find how much he saves in week 15

(b) Calculate the total amount he saves over the 60 week period.

Arithmetic Series
The boy’s sister also saves some money each week over a period of m weeks. She saves 10p in week 1, 20p in week 2, 30p in week 3 and so on so that her weekly savings form an arithmetic sequence. She saves a total of £63 in the m weeks.
(c) Show that m(m + 1) = 35 × 36

(d) Hence write down the value of m.
