Respuesta :
The given situation is an arithmetic sequence with the first term equal to 52 and has a common difference of -6. The formula for the summation (S) of the terms in arithmetic sequence is
S = (n/2) x (2a1 + (n - 1) d)
where n is the number of term, a1 the first term, and d the common difference.
Substitute the given from the problem,
S = (8/2) x ( (2)(52) + (8 - 1)(-6))
S = 248
Therefore, there are 248 windows on the first eight floors. The answer is letter A. 248
