The table shows the distance Mr Yap jogged each day over a period of 4 days. The distance Mr Yap jogged follows a pattern. Based on the pattern, what is the distance Mr Yap jogged on Day 8?
| Day |
1 |
2 |
3 |
4 |
| Distance jogged |
250 m |
425 m |
600 m |
775 m |
Pattern for the distance jogged:
Day 1: 250 + 0 x 175 = 250 m
Day 2: 250 + 1 x 175 = 425 m
Day 3: 250 + 2 x 175 = 600 m
Day 4: 250 + 3 x 175 = 775 m
Formula:
Distance jogged = 400 + (Day number - 1) x 175
Distance jogged on Day 8
= 250 + (8 - 1) x 175
= 250 + 7 x 175
= 1475 m
Answer(s): 1475 m
