The table shows the distance Mr Quek jogged each day over a period of 4 days. The distance Mr Quek jogged follows a pattern. Based on the pattern, what is the distance Mr Quek jogged on Day 8?
| Day |
1 |
2 |
3 |
4 |
| Distance jogged |
250 m |
300 m |
350 m |
400 m |
Pattern for the distance jogged:
Day 1: 250 + 0 x 50 = 250 m
Day 2: 250 + 1 x 50 = 300 m
Day 3: 250 + 2 x 50 = 350 m
Day 4: 250 + 3 x 50 = 400 m
Formula:
Distance jogged = 400 + (Day number - 1) x 50
Distance jogged on Day 8
= 250 + (8 - 1) x 50
= 250 + 7 x 50
= 600 m
Answer(s): 600 m
