Full solution

Q. Haruka hiked several kilometers in the morning. She hiked only 66 kilometers in the afternoon, which was 25%25\% less than she had hiked in the morning. How many kilometers did Haruka hike in all? \newline\square kilometers
  1. Define Morning Hike: Let xx be the number of kilometers Haruka hiked in the morning.\newlineIdentify the expression for 25%25\% less than the number of kilometers hiked in the morning.\newlineExpression for afternoon hike: x25%(x)x - 25\%(x)\newline= x0.25xx - 0.25x
  2. Calculate Afternoon Hike: We found: Expression for afternoon hike is x0.25xx - 0.25x\newlineWe know: Value for afternoon hike is 66 kilometers\newlineSet up an equation to find xx, the number of kilometers hiked in the morning.\newlineEquation for afternoon hike is 6=x0.25x6 = x - 0.25x.
  3. Solve for Morning Hike: We found: 6=x0.25x6 = x - 0.25x Solve for xx. x0.25x=6x - 0.25x = 6 x(10.25)=6x(1 - 0.25) = 6 0.75x=60.75x = 6 x=60.75x = \frac{6}{0.75} x=8x = 8 Haruka hiked 88 kilometers in the morning.
  4. Calculate Total Hike: Calculate the total number of kilometers hiked by Haruka.\newlineTotal hike = Morning hike + Afternoon hike\newlineTotal hike = 88 kilometers (morning) + 66 kilometers (afternoon)\newlineTotal hike = 1414 kilometers
