Haruka hiked 14 kilometers in all.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Distance hiked in afternoon = 6 kilometers

It was 25% less than Morning.

Let,

x be the distance hiked in morning;

x-25% of x = 6

$x-\frac{25}{100}x=6\\x-0.25x=6\\0.75x=6$

Dividing both sides by 0.75

$\frac{0.75x}{0.75}=\frac{6}{0.75}\\x=8$

She hiked 8 kilometers in morning.

Total distance hiked = Distance in morning + Distance in evening

Total distance hiked = 8+6 = 14 kilometers

Haruka hiked 14 kilometers in all.
