Question

Parker just started a running plan where he runs 7 miles the first week and then
increases the number of miles he runs by 10% each week. If he keeps up this plan for
15 weeks, how many total miles would Parker have run, to the nearest whole
number?

Answer 1

Answer:

Parker would have run 29 miles in the 15th week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Parker just started a running plan where he runs 7 miles the first week and then increases the number of miles he runs by 10% each week, to determine, if he keeps up this plan for 15 weeks, how many total miles would Parker have run, to the nearest whole number, the following calculation should be performed:

7 x 1.1 ^ 15 = X

7 x 4.1772 = X

29.24 = X

Therefore, Parker would have run 29 miles in the 15th week.
