This question is talking arithmetic sequence.

The first term (the first drop) = 30 people went down

The last term (14th trip) = 95 people went down

We are asked to get the total number of people delivered to the concert. We can used this formula.

= (1/2) * n * (first + last)

= (1/2) * 14 * (30 + 95)

= 875.

So there are 875 people who went to the concert.
