The table shows the distance Mr Yee jogged each day over a period of 4 days. The distance Mr Yee jogged follows a pattern. Based on the pattern, what is the distance Mr Yee jogged on Day 9?
Day |
1 |
2 |
3 |
4 |
Distance jogged |
300 m |
400 m |
500 m |
600 m |
Pattern for the distance jogged:
Day 1: 300 + 0 x 100 = 300 m
Day 2: 300 + 1 x 100 = 400 m
Day 3: 300 + 2 x 100 = 500 m
Day 4: 300 + 3 x 100 = 600 m
Formula:
Distance jogged = 400 + (Day number - 1) x 100
Distance jogged on Day 9
= 300 + (9 - 1) x 100
= 300 + 8 x 100
= 1100 m
Answer(s): 1100 m
