ao Dominic got a new video game. The first time he played the game he scored 80 points. After that, each time he played he increased his score by 60 points. How many times will he have to play before he scores 500 points?

oki
1st time = 80
2nd = 80 + 60 = 140
3rd 140 + 60 = 200
4th = 200 + 60 = 260
5th = 240 + 60 = 300
6th = 280 + 60 = 340
7th = 320 + 60 = 380
8th = 380 + 60 = 440
9th = 440 + 60 = 500
He must play 9 times to score 500 points
