Respuesta :

Answer:

3,675 people

Step-by-step explanation:

First row, a = 20

Common difference, d = 5

number of terms, n = 35

Sn = n/2 {2a + (n - 1)d}

= 35/2 {2*20 + (35 - 1)5}

= 35/2 {40 + ( 34)5}

= 17.5(40 + 170)

= 17.5(210)

= 3,675 people

The answer is actually 3675.

My reasoning: Plug it in and you shall see!
