The table shows the distance Mr Lee jogged each day over a period of 4 days. The distance Mr Lee jogged follows a pattern. Based on the pattern, what is the distance Mr Lee jogged on Day 6?
Day |
1 |
2 |
3 |
4 |
Distance jogged |
300 m |
425 m |
550 m |
675 m |
Pattern for the distance jogged:
Day 1: 300 + 0 x 125 = 300 m
Day 2: 300 + 1 x 125 = 425 m
Day 3: 300 + 2 x 125 = 550 m
Day 4: 300 + 3 x 125 = 675 m
Formula:
Distance jogged = 400 + (Day number - 1) x 125
Distance jogged on Day 6
= 300 + (6 - 1) x 125
= 300 + 5 x 125
= 925 m
Answer(s): 925 m
