Question

Rosie went on a hiking trip. The first day she walked 18 kilometers. Each day since she walked 90% of what she walked the day before. What is the total distance Rosie has traveled by the end of the 10th day?

Answer 1

Rosie has walked 163.8 kilometers by the 10th day,

Explanation:

We know that the first day is 18 kilometers.

90% = 0.9

0.9 x 18 = 16.2

There are 9 more days

16.2 x 9 = 145.8

Now we add the first day

145.8 + 18= 163.8
