The table shows the distance Mr Peh jogged each day over a period of 4 days. The distance Mr Peh jogged follows a pattern. Based on the pattern, what is the distance Mr Peh jogged on Day 5?
Day |
1 |
2 |
3 |
4 |
Distance jogged |
100 m |
225 m |
350 m |
475 m |
Pattern for the distance jogged:
Day 1: 100 + 0 x 125 = 100 m
Day 2: 100 + 1 x 125 = 225 m
Day 3: 100 + 2 x 125 = 350 m
Day 4: 100 + 3 x 125 = 475 m
Formula:
Distance jogged = 400 + (Day number - 1) x 125
Distance jogged on Day 5
= 100 + (5 - 1) x 125
= 100 + 4 x 125
= 600 m
Answer(s): 600 m
