Answer 1

Complete Question:

Haruka hiked several kilometers in the morning. She hiked only 6 kilometers in the afternoon, which was 25% than she had hiked in the morning.

How many kilometers did Haruka hike in all?

Answer:

10.5 km

Explanation:

Given

Represent Morning with M and Afternoon with A

`A = 6km`

From the second sentence in the question, we have that:

`M = A - 25\% * A`

Required

Determine the total kilometers

First, we need to determine the kilometers moved by substituting 6 for A in the second equation

`M = A - 25\% * A`

`M = 6 - 25\% * 6`

`M = 6 - 1.5`

`M = 4.5`

Next, is to determine the total using:

`Total = A + M`

`Total = 6 + 4.5`

`Total = 10.5\ km`
