Q. Haruka hiked several kilometers in the morning. She hiked only 6kilometers6\,\text{kilometers} in the afternoon, which was 25%25\% less than she had hiked in the morning.\newlineHow many kilometers did Haruka hike in all?\newlinekilometers\text{kilometers}\newlineReperta.problem
  1. Identify Morning Hike Expression: Let mm be the number of kilometers Haruka hiked in the morning.\newlineIdentify the expression for 25%25\% less than the morning hike.\newlineExpression for afternoon hike: m25%(m)m - 25\%(m)\newline= m0.25mm - 0.25m
  2. Set Up Equation: We found: Expression for afternoon hike is m0.25mm - 0.25m\newlineWe know: Value for afternoon hike is 66 kilometers\newlineSet up an equation to find mm, the morning hike distance.\newlineEquation for afternoon hike is 6=m0.25m6 = m - 0.25m.
  3. Solve for Morning Hike: We found: 6=m0.25m6 = m - 0.25m Solve for mm. m0.25m=6m - 0.25m = 6 m(10.25)=6m(1 - 0.25) = 6 0.75m=60.75m = 6 m=6/0.75m = 6 / 0.75 m=8m = 8 Haruka hiked 88 kilometers in the morning.
  4. Calculate Total Distance: We found: Haruka hiked 88 kilometers in the morning and 66 kilometers in the afternoon.\newlineCalculate the total distance hiked by adding the morning and afternoon distances.\newlineTotal distance hiked = morning hike + afternoon hike\newlineTotal distance hiked = 8km+6km8 \, \text{km} + 6 \, \text{km}\newlineTotal distance hiked = 14km14 \, \text{km}
