You'll need to show us what you've done so far. Can you break the problem down?

We can't do your homework for you. If you really have no idea how to simplify the problem, then just add up. You've only nine terms to calculate and add together.

Doing that might give you some ideas of what you to do if ##k = 1## to ##100##, say.
