The table shows the distance Mr Lin jogged each day over a period of 4 days. The distance Mr Lin jogged follows a pattern. Based on the pattern, what is the distance Mr Lin jogged on Day 11?
Day |
1 |
2 |
3 |
4 |
Distance jogged |
350 m |
400 m |
450 m |
500 m |
Pattern for the distance jogged:
Day 1: 350 + 0 x 50 = 350 m
Day 2: 350 + 1 x 50 = 400 m
Day 3: 350 + 2 x 50 = 450 m
Day 4: 350 + 3 x 50 = 500 m
Formula:
Distance jogged = 400 + (Day number - 1) x 50
Distance jogged on Day 11
= 350 + (11 - 1) x 50
= 350 + 10 x 50
= 850 m
Answer(s): 850 m
