    4. In the first month after opening, a mobile phone shop sold 280 phones. A model for future
    trading assumes that sales will increase by x phones per month for the next 35 months, so that
    (280 + x) phones will be sold in the second month, (280 + 2x) in the third month, and so on.

    Using this model with x = 5, calculate

    (a) (i) the number of phones sold in the 36th month,
