The table shows the distance Mr Yong jogged each day over a period of 4 days. The distance Mr Yong jogged follows a pattern. Based on the pattern, what is the distance Mr Yong jogged on Day 9?
| Day |
1 |
2 |
3 |
4 |
| Distance jogged |
150 m |
400 m |
650 m |
900 m |
Pattern for the distance jogged:
Day 1: 150 + 0 x 250 = 150 m
Day 2: 150 + 1 x 250 = 400 m
Day 3: 150 + 2 x 250 = 650 m
Day 4: 150 + 3 x 250 = 900 m
Formula:
Distance jogged = 400 + (Day number - 1) x 250
Distance jogged on Day 9
= 150 + (9 - 1) x 250
= 150 + 8 x 250
= 2150 m
Answer(s): 2150 m
