Hi, 

Jhon started a job that paid $20,000 a year. Each year after the first, he received a raise of $600.

 What is jhon's salary in his tenth year of employment...!? 

a%5Bn%5D=a%5B1%5D%2B%28n-1%29%2Ad

a%5B10%5D=20000+%2B%289%29%2A600= $25,400

What was the total amount jhon earned in ten years...!? 

S%5Bn%5D=%28n%28a%5B1%5D%2Ba%5Bn%5D%29%29%2F2

S%5B10%5D=+5%2820000%2B25400%29 = $227,000
