A supermarket finds that the number of boxes of a new cereal sold increases each week. In the first week, only 16 boxes of the cereal were sold. In the next week, 33 boxes of the cereal were sold and in the third week 50 boxes of the cereal were sold. The number of boxes of cereal sold each week represents an arithmetic sequence.
