Answer:

x= 36 km

Explanation:

Vince went on a 3 day hiking trip. Each day, he walked 3/4 the distance that he walked the day before. He walked 83.25 kilometers total in the trip. How far did Vince walk on the 1st day of the trip?

Assume vince walked x km on the first day .

The following equation can be formed

x + 3/4 x + (3/4)^2 x = 83.25

x + 0.75x + 0.5625x = 83.25

Add the like terms

2.3125x = 83.25

Divide both sides by 2.3125

x = 36 km.

Vince went on a 333 day hiking trip. Each day, he walked 3\4 the distance that he walked the day before. He walked 83.2583, point, 25 kilometers total in the trip.
