The table shows the distance Mr Chan jogged each day over a period of 4 days. The distance Mr Chan jogged follows a pattern. Based on the pattern, what is the distance Mr Chan jogged on Day 6?
Day |
1 |
2 |
3 |
4 |
Distance jogged |
100 m |
325 m |
550 m |
775 m |
Pattern for the distance jogged:
Day 1: 100 + 0 x 225 = 100 m
Day 2: 100 + 1 x 225 = 325 m
Day 3: 100 + 2 x 225 = 550 m
Day 4: 100 + 3 x 225 = 775 m
Formula:
Distance jogged = 400 + (Day number - 1) x 225
Distance jogged on Day 6
= 100 + (6 - 1) x 225
= 100 + 5 x 225
= 1225 m
Answer(s): 1225 m
