The table shows the distance Mr Lin jogged each day over a period of 4 days. The distance Mr Lin jogged follows a pattern. Based on the pattern, what is the distance Mr Lin jogged on Day 8?
Day |
1 |
2 |
3 |
4 |
Distance jogged |
500 m |
600 m |
700 m |
800 m |
Pattern for the distance jogged:
Day 1: 500 + 0 x 100 = 500 m
Day 2: 500 + 1 x 100 = 600 m
Day 3: 500 + 2 x 100 = 700 m
Day 4: 500 + 3 x 100 = 800 m
Formula:
Distance jogged = 400 + (Day number - 1) x 100
Distance jogged on Day 8
= 500 + (8 - 1) x 100
= 500 + 7 x 100
= 1200 m
Answer(s): 1200 m
