Question

Haruka hiked several kilometres in the morning. She only hiked 6 kilometres in the afternoon, which was 25% less she had hiked in the morning.
How many kilometres did Haruka hike in all?

Answer 1

let the kilometers hiked in the morning be x.

The ones hiked in the evening will be :

25% less than x.

This will be :

0.75x

0.75x = 6

x = 6/0.75 = 8

x = 8km

she walked 8kms in the morning.

The total distance she walked was:

8 + 6 = 14 km
