The sum of the first n positive integers is given by
, so the sum of the first 200 positive integers is
= 20,100.
Alternatively, letting
represent the sum of the first 100 positive integers, it is given that
= 5,050. Using this notation,
=
+
=
+
+
=
+
= 2(5,050) + 10,000
= 10,100 + 10,000 = 20,100.
The correct answer is E.
The sum of the first n positive integers is given by


Alternatively, letting










= 10,100 + 10,000 = 20,100.
The correct answer is E.
