Haruka hiked several kilometers in the morning in the morning. She only hiked 6 kilometers in the afternoon, which was 25% less she had hiked in the morning. How many kilometers did haruka hike in all?
Accepted Solution
A:
Given that Haruka hiked only 25% less in the afternoon, this means that in the afternoon she hikes 75% of the distance she hiked in the morning. This 75% of a certain number is equal to 6. To determine the distance she hiked in the morning, we represent it as x and use the equation,
0.75x = 6
The value of x from the equation is 8. Adding together the 6 and 8 will give us an answer of 14.
