The table shows the distance Mr Fong jogged each day over a period of 4 days. The distance Mr Fong jogged follows a pattern. Based on the pattern, what is the distance Mr Fong jogged on Day 7?
Day |
1 |
2 |
3 |
4 |
Distance jogged |
300 m |
525 m |
750 m |
975 m |
Pattern for the distance jogged:
Day 1: 300 + 0 x 225 = 300 m
Day 2: 300 + 1 x 225 = 525 m
Day 3: 300 + 2 x 225 = 750 m
Day 4: 300 + 3 x 225 = 975 m
Formula:
Distance jogged = 400 + (Day number - 1) x 225
Distance jogged on Day 7
= 300 + (7 - 1) x 225
= 300 + 6 x 225
= 1650 m
Answer(s): 1650 m
