Best Answer

On the 20th day, you would reach 880.

----------------------------------------

Sum(AP) = ½n(2a + (n-1)d)

here:

Sum(AP) = 880

a (first term) = 25

d (common difference) = 2

n (number of terms) = unknown

Plugging in the values gives:

880 = ½n(2×25 + (n - 1) × 2)

→ 880 = n(25 + n - 1)

→ 880 = 24n + n²

→ n² + 24n - 880 = 0

→ (n - 20)(n + 44) = 0

→ n = 20 or -44

You cannot have -44 days, so it must be on the 20th day when he puts 25 + (20 - 1)* 2 = 63 in that he reaches a total of 880.

The sum of an AP can also be expressed as ½ × n × (first + last) since last = first + (n - 1) × difference.

How do the people in the tv show lost get saved?

they get saved 2 times. the first is when Charles widmores frieghter is near the island and the ocianic 6 are rescued and flown off the island. the second time is when a second plane crash/lands on the island and they fly it off after a few weeks One popular theory is they never are physically saved from the island. Instead they are saved spiritually and the island was a test of who was a "good person" and who was a "bad person". The island was sort of a test for redemption of the evils they committed in their life.

What does the meaning devil arithmetic mean?

The Devil's Arithmetic, based on the book by Jane Yolen, is about a girl who is transported from modern-day to 1940 Nazi-occupied Poland. The meaning of the title, comes from the numbers on the clothing that the prisoners in the concentration camp. The characters in the book put meaning to the numbers to help make them a little more personal, to identify better with them. They talk about how the numbers were a part of the Devil's Arithmetic. The Devil, because they knew what was going on, and if they weren't saved, would be killed. Arithmetic because of the numbers.
