So I have a formula,

$${\frac{{{\mathtt{100}}}^{{\mathtt{n}}}}{\left({\mathtt{50}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}\left({\mathtt{1}}{\mathtt{\,\small\textbf+\,}}{{\mathtt{100}}}^{\left({\mathtt{n}}{\mathtt{\,-\,}}{\mathtt{1}}\right)}\right)\right)}} = {a}{\left({\mathtt{n}}\right)}$$ 

for finding the nth term of the sequence, but since It's neither arithmatic nor geometric, I don't know how to find a formula for the sum of the nth terms. Is there even a way to?

I can't find an exact formula for the sum of N terms, but there is an approximate expression:

 

sum ≈ 2*N - 1.02  which gives it to two decimal places.

 

or sum ≈ 2*N - 1.020004 which gives it to 6 decimal places for N>3
