The table shows the distance Mr Chiam jogged each day over a period of 4 days. The distance Mr Chiam jogged follows a pattern. Based on the pattern, what is the distance Mr Chiam jogged on Day 12?
Day |
1 |
2 |
3 |
4 |
Distance jogged |
350 m |
425 m |
500 m |
575 m |
Pattern for the distance jogged:
Day 1: 350 + 0 x 75 = 350 m
Day 2: 350 + 1 x 75 = 425 m
Day 3: 350 + 2 x 75 = 500 m
Day 4: 350 + 3 x 75 = 575 m
Formula:
Distance jogged = 400 + (Day number - 1) x 75
Distance jogged on Day 12
= 350 + (12 - 1) x 75
= 350 + 11 x 75
= 1175 m
Answer(s): 1175 m
