Distance jogged |
100 m |
300 m |
500 m |
700 m |
Pattern for the distance jogged:
Day 1: 100 + 0 x 200 = 100 m
Day 2: 100 + 1 x 200 = 300 m
Day 3: 100 + 2 x 200 = 500 m
Day 4: 100 + 3 x 200 = 700 m
Formula:
Distance jogged = 400 + (Day number - 1) x 200
Distance jogged on Day 12
= 100 + (12 - 1) x 200
= 100 + 11 x 200
= 2300 m
Answer(s): 2300 m
