I’m too lazy to do this on my own…
What would the total be if you add together every number…1 to 300 ?
300 plus 299 equals 599
599 plus 298 equals 897
897 plus 297 equals 1194
And so on
What would the grand total be ?

1 to 100 is 5050.

I think it is 150.5 X 300

I don't know the answer but I want to go to work for you. I'll work 30 days and start at one penny the first day. You double my pay every day.

I guess 45,150

Sum of n consecutive numbers = (n/2) (First number + Last number)
n = Last number – First number + 1

[mzurovec]

45,150 according to the excel sheet

45,150 according to the excel sheet

I concur

excel my friend too

D. - All of the above.

45,150

301 x 150 = 45150

[boomerball]

150.5 x 300 = 150 x 301 = 45150

The grand total can be calculated using the arithmetic series formula:

Sn = n/2 (a + L)

where:

Sn is the sum of the series
n is the number of terms in the series
a is the first term of the series
L is the last term of the series
In this case, the first term is 300 and the common difference between each term is -1. The last term of the series can be found by solving for n in the equation 300 + (n-1)(-1) = 0, which gives n = 300.

Therefore, the last term L = 0. Substituting these values into the formula, we get:

Sn = 300/2 (300 + 0) = 45,000

So the grand total would be 45,000.

Just open up excel, go to the menu, then close excel. I have no idea.
