Answer

The sum of the series is \(\boxed{9555}\).

Steps

Step 1 :First, we identify the first term \(a_1\) as \(3*11 = 33\), the last term \(a_n\) as \(3*80 = 240\), and the number of terms \(n\) as \(80 - 11 + 1 = 70\).

Step 2 :We then use the formula for the sum of an arithmetic series: \(\frac{n}{2} * (a_1 + a_n)\).

Step 3 :Substituting the values we have: \(\frac{70}{2} * (33 + 240)\).

Step 4 :Finally, we calculate the sum to get the final answer.

Step 5 :The sum of the series is \(\boxed{9555}\).
