Question

le Gianna just started a running plan where she runs 20 miles the first week and then increases the number of miles she runs by 5% each week. If she keeps up this plan for 17 weeks, how many total miles would Gianna have run, to the nearest whole number?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Gianna ran 40 miles over the course of 17 weeks.

Step-by-step explanation:

20 miles in the first week.

5% increase each week.

17 weeks.

• 5% * 20 = 1

1 mile increase each week.

• 17 * 1 = 17

17 mile increase over the course of 17 weeks.

• 20 + 17 = 37

37 miles over the course of 17 weeks.

Round 37 to the nearest whole number.

• 37 ^ 40
