Question

Raja walked $36\mathrm{km}$ on Monday and on Tuesday he walked $10\%$ more. How much distance did he cover on both days put together?

Answer 1

Step 1: Given :
Distance covered by Raja on Monday $=36\mathrm{km}$

Distance covered by Raja on Tuesday $=10\%\mathrm{more}\mathrm{of}36$

$10\%\mathrm{of}36$

$$\begin{gathered} \frac{10}{100}\times 36 \\ \frac{36}{10} \\ 3.6 \end{gathered}$$

Step 2: Distance covered by Raja on Tuesday

$$\begin{gathered} 36+3.6 \\ 39.6 \end{gathered}$$
Step 3: Hence, On both days he walked 39.6 km
