If a bat ate 1050 mosquitoes in 4 nights and he ate 25 more than the previous night how many did he eat per night?

Let's say that X is the quantity of mosquitoes for the first night. So every night will be 25 more mosquitoes than night before: X: night 1 X+25: night 2 (X+25)+25: night 3 ((X+25)+25)+25: night 4 The total for 4 nights is: 1050 So, X + (X+25) + ((X+25)+25) + (((X+25)+25)+25) = 1050 4X + 150 = 1050 4X = 1050 - 150 = 900 X = 225 And replacing: night 1: 225 night 2: 250 night 3: 275 night 4: 300
