Oakdale School is sponsoring a canned food drive. In the first week of the drive, the students collected 638 cans. They collected 698 cans in the second week and 758 cans in the third week. If the students continue to collect cans at this rate, in which week will they collect more than 1,000 cans?

We have an arithmetic sequence where each successive term increases by 50.

Using our sequence calculator, we find that week #8 is when the students cross 1,000 cans.
