The table shows the distance Mr Thia jogged each day over a period of 4 days. The distance Mr Thia jogged follows a pattern. Based on the pattern, what is the distance Mr Thia jogged on Day 9?
| Day |
1 |
2 |
3 |
4 |
| Distance jogged |
500 m |
650 m |
800 m |
950 m |
Pattern for the distance jogged:
Day 1: 500 + 0 x 150 = 500 m
Day 2: 500 + 1 x 150 = 650 m
Day 3: 500 + 2 x 150 = 800 m
Day 4: 500 + 3 x 150 = 950 m
Formula:
Distance jogged = 400 + (Day number - 1) x 150
Distance jogged on Day 9
= 500 + (9 - 1) x 150
= 500 + 8 x 150
= 1700 m
Answer(s): 1700 m
