Tourist route

Tourists covered 15% of their route on the first day and a fifth of the remainder on the second day. They still had 34 km left to go. How many kilometres did they travel on the second day?

Final Answer:

b =  8.5 km

Step-by-step explanation:

q=15%=10015=203=0.15  q s+(sq s)/5+34=s 0.15 s+(s0.15 s)/5+34=s  3.4s=170  s=3.4170=50  s=50  b=(sq s)/5=(500.15 50)/5=217 km=8.5 km
