The new Elk Grove radio station KFIN, features the top 60 songs for that week. The #1 song is played 60 times, the #2 song is played 59 times, the #3 song is played 58 times, and so on until the #60 song is played once. Each song takes 3 minutes to play.
The station also has 24 ten-minute news breaks each day, and the rest of the time is sold for advertising. If the station charges $100 for every 30 seconds of advertising, how much money do they take in each week?

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of times that each song is played is reducing in arithmetic progression. We would determine the total number of time for plating all the songs in a week by applying the formula for determining the sum of the n terms in an arithmetic sequence. It is expressed as

Sn = n/2(2a + (n - 1)d

Where

d represents the common difference

n represents the number of terms

a represents the first term of the sequence

Sn represents the sum of n terms if the sequence.

From the information given,

a = 60

n = 60

d = - 1

Sn = 60/2(2 × 60 + (60 - 1)-1)

Sn = 30(120 - 59)

Sn = 1830 times

The 60 songs are played for 1830 times in a week. If each song takes 3 minutes to play, then the total time taken to play the songs for 1830 times in a week is

3 × 1830 = 5490 minutes

7 days = 1 week

24 hours = 1 day

60 minutes = 1 hour

The number of minutes in a week is

7 × 24 × 60 = 10080 minutes

The station also has 24 ten-minute news breaks each day. The number of minutes of break for each day is

24 × 10 = 240 minutes

The amount of break time in a week is

240 × 7 = 1680 minutes

If the remaining minutes is meant for advertising, then the number if minutes available for advertising is

10080 - (5490 + 1680) = 2910 minutes

1 minute = 60 seconds

2910 minutes = 2910 × 60 = 174600 seconds

If the station charges $100 for every 30 seconds of advertising, then the amount that they take in each week(for 174600 seconds) is

(174600 × 100)/30 = $5820000
