Question

Brenda completes her sixth hiking trail in a state park. A park ranger tells her that she has hiked 25% of the trails. How many trails are there to hike in the state park?

Answer 1

Answer:

Total number of hikes in the state park = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of trails available in the state park = t

Since, Brenda has completed 25% of the total trails, number of trails completed by her = 25% of t

                              = $\frac{25}{100}\times t$

                              = 0.25t

As per ranger she has completed 6th hiking trail,

6 = 0.25t

t = $\frac{6}{0.25}$

t = 24

Therefore, total number trails to hike in the state park = 24.
