7. Jill gave money to a charity over a 20-year period, from Year 1 to Year 20 inclusive.
She gave £150 in Year 1, £160 in Year 2, £170 in Year 3, and so on, so that the amounts
of money she gave each year formed an arithmetic sequence.

(a) Find the amount of money she gave in Year 10.

(2)

(b) Calculate the total amount of money she gave over the 20-year period.
(3)

Kevin also gave money to the charity over the same 20-year period.

He gave £A in Year 1 and the amounts of money he gave each year increased, forming an
arithmetic sequence with common difference £30.
The total amount of money that Kevin gave over the 20-year period was twice the total
amount of money that Jill gave.

(c) Calculate the value of A.
