Question

JUANITA WANTS TO PARTICIPATE IN A 20 KILOMETER BICYCLE RACE. SHE IS CONSIDERING TWO TRAINING PROGRAMS BELOW. PROGRAM A: RIDE 10 KILOMETERS ON THE FIRST DAY AND INCREASE THE DISTANCE BY 500 METERS EACH DAY. PROGRAM B: RIDE 7,500 METERS ON THE FIRST DAY AND INCREASE THE DISTANCE BY AN ADDITIONAL 0.75 KILOMETER EACH DAY. IF JUANITA CHOOSES PROGRAM B, how many total kilometers will she ride in the first three days?

Answer 1

She would ride 17,343.75 kilometers in three days because the first day is 7,500 meters and the get the third day you multiply that by .75 which would be 5,625, and to get the third day you would multiply the 5,625 by .75 to get about 4,218. Lastly, you would add the three numbers together
