The table shows the distance Mr Lau jogged each day over a period of 4 days. The distance Mr Lau jogged follows a pattern. Based on the pattern, what is the distance Mr Lau jogged on Day 11?
Day |
1 |
2 |
3 |
4 |
Distance jogged |
200 m |
275 m |
350 m |
425 m |
Pattern for the distance jogged:
Day 1: 200 + 0 x 75 = 200 m
Day 2: 200 + 1 x 75 = 275 m
Day 3: 200 + 2 x 75 = 350 m
Day 4: 200 + 3 x 75 = 425 m
Formula:
Distance jogged = 400 + (Day number - 1) x 75
Distance jogged on Day 11
= 200 + (11 - 1) x 75
= 200 + 10 x 75
= 950 m
Answer(s): 950 m
