Question
Mal is shopping for a school trip. He buys \(50\) tins of beans and \(20\) packets of cereal. The total cost is \(260\) Australian dollars (\({\text{AUD}}\)).
The triangular faces of a square based pyramid, \({\text{ABCDE}}\), are all inclined at \({70^ \circ }\) to the base. The edges of the base \({\text{ABCD}}\) are all \(10{\text{ cm}}\) and \({\text{M}}\) is the centre. \({\text{G}}\) is the mid-point of \({\text{CD}}\).
Write down an equation showing this information, taking \(b\) to be the cost of one tin of beans and \(c\) to be the cost of one packet of cereal in \({\text{AUD}}\).[1]
Stephen thinks that Mal has not bought enough so he buys \(12\) more tins of beans and \(6\) more packets of cereal. He pays \(66{\text{ AUD}}\).
Write down another equation to represent this information.[1]

Question
Part A
The Green Park Amphitheatre was built in the form of a horseshoe and has 20 rows. The number of seats in each row increase by a fixed amount, d, compared to the number of seats in the previous row. The number of seats in the sixth row, u6, is 100, and the number of seats in the tenth row, u10, is 124. u1 represents the number of seats in the first row.
Part B
Frank is at the amphitheatre and receives a text message at 12:00. Five minutes later he forwards the text message to three people. Five minutes later, those three people forward the text message to three new people. Assume this pattern continues and each time the text message is sent to people who have not received it before.
The number of new people who receive the text message forms a geometric sequence
1 , 3 , …
(i) Write an equation for u6 in terms of d and u1.
(ii) Write an equation for u10 in terms of d and u1.[2]
