In a sequence of numbers, the first term is 500. Each new term is determined by dividing the previous term by 2 and then adding 10. For example, the second term is 260 . What is the fourth term in the sequence?
(A) 75
(B) 65
(C) 70
(D) 60
(E) 80
We are told that the second term in the sequence is 260 .

Using the rule for the sequence, to get the third term, we divide the second term by 2 to obtain 130 and then add 10 to get 140 , which is the third term.

To get the fourth term, we divide the third term by 2 to obtain 70 and then add 10 to get 80 .

ANSWER: (E)
