The table shows the distance Mr Seah jogged each day over a period of 4 days. The distance Mr Seah jogged follows a pattern. Based on the pattern, what is the distance Mr Seah jogged on Day 12?
Day |
1 |
2 |
3 |
4 |
Distance jogged |
350 m |
475 m |
600 m |
725 m |
Pattern for the distance jogged:
Day 1: 350 + 0 x 125 = 350 m
Day 2: 350 + 1 x 125 = 475 m
Day 3: 350 + 2 x 125 = 600 m
Day 4: 350 + 3 x 125 = 725 m
Formula:
Distance jogged = 400 + (Day number - 1) x 125
Distance jogged on Day 12
= 350 + (12 - 1) x 125
= 350 + 11 x 125
= 1725 m
Answer(s): 1725 m
