Question

Martin would like to start training to run a Martin the first week he runs a total of 15 miles he would like to run 30% more miles each week than the week before how far will Martin run the third week

Answer 1

Third week = 23.35 miles

Explanation:

First week total miles = 15 miles

he would like to run 30% more miles each week than the week before

Second week = 15 miles + (30% of 15 miles)

= 15 + (30% * 15)

= 15 + (0.3 * 15)

= 15 + 4.5

= 19.5 miles

Second week = 19.5 miles

Third week = 19.5 miles + (30% of 19.5 miles)

= 19.5 + (30% * 19.5)

= 19.5 + (0.3 * 19.5)

= 19.5 + (5.85)

= 23.35 miles

Third week = 23.35 miles
