-10n = -160
n = 16

b) The salary scale of Company B is better because the monthly increment is more than
Company A . Although A starts off with a lower salary , it will have a long term profit in the
future .

13 1569.30 1605.09


b) Company D has a better salary scale than company C. Eventhough the starting pay is of
company D is lower in the long run company D gives a better pay than company C. On the
13
th
month,company Ds pay will be higher than company C.This is due to the monthly
increment of company D which increases by 15%.Both the salary scale increases in a
geometric pattern. In conclusion,the salary for company D will be more than company C after
the 13
th
month .

Assignment 3
a) Using arithmetic progression
S = [2a+2d ]= 28080
3a+3d = 28080 ------------ Equation 1
S = [2a+3d] = 39360
4a+6d = 39360------------- Equation 2
a=8400 , d=960
