If Monique continues getting coffee at this rate then the money that she will have spent on coffee by the end of the year is $163.44.
What is an arithmetic sequence?
An arithmetic sequence is a sequence of integers with its adjacent terms differing with one common difference.
If the initial term of a sequence is 'a' and the common difference is of 'd', then we have the arithmetic sequence as:
a, a + d, a + 2d, ... , a + (n+1)d, ...
Its nth term is
Tₙ = a + (n-1)d
(for all positive integer values of n)
Given Monique goes out for coffee once per week. she has already spent $40.86 this year on her coffees and each one is $4.54. Therefore, the sequence can be written as,
4.54, 9.08, 13.62, 18.16, 22.7, 27.24, .........
Therefore,
- The first term of the sequence is 4.54,
- To get the next term you need to add 4.54.
- This is an arithmetic sequence.
Since 9 weeks (40.86/4.54 = 9) are already over, and there are 27 more weeks, therefore, the spending till 36 weeks will be,
a₃₆ = 4.54 + (36-1)4.54
a₃₆ = 163.44
Hence, if Monique continues getting coffee at this rate then the money that she will have spent on coffee by the end of the year is $163.44.
