Four resistors, R1 = 100 ohms, R2 = 250 ohms, R3 = 350 ohms, and R4 = 200 ohms are connected such that the parallel combination of R1 and R2 is connected in series with the parallel combination of R3 and R4. The series-parallel combination is then connected across a 24-V DC power supply. Find the current through R1, in amperes.
