The table shows the distance Mr Chau jogged each day over a period of 4 days. The distance Mr Chau jogged follows a pattern. Based on the pattern, what is the distance Mr Chau jogged on Day 6?
Day |

2 |
3 |
4 |
Distance jogged |
100 m |
200 m |
300 m |
400 m |
Pattern for the distance jogged:
Day 1: 100 + 0 x 100 = 100 m
Day 2: 100 + 1 x 100 = 200 m
Day 3: 100 + 2 x 100 = 300 m
Day 4: 100 + 3 x 100 = 400 m
Formula:
Distance jogged = 400 + (Day number - 1) x 100
Distance jogged on Day 6
= 100 + (6 - 1) x 100
= 100 + 5 x 100
= 600 m
Answer(s): 600 m
