On the first day, the cyclist covered 40% of the entire trip, on the second day of the entire trip, on the third day

On the first day, the cyclist covered 40% of the entire trip, on the second day of the entire trip, on the third day he covered 8 km. How many kilometers a cyclist traveled, as well as on the first and second day.

To complete this task, you need to solve the problem;

Consider this task and analyze it;
By the condition of the problem, we know that the cyclist covered forty percent of the way on the first day, one fifth of the way on the second, and eight kilometers on the third day.

Let’s find how many kilometers the cyclist has traveled in total and every day. To do this, we will designate the entire path by the letter K, then we will compose an equation;

40% = 0.4;
1/5 = 0.2;
On the first day I drove 0.4K;
On the second day 0.2K;
On the third day 8 km;
Let’s get the equation;
K – 0.4K – 0.2K = 8;
0.4K = 8;
K = 8 / 0.4;
K = 20km all the way;

Then;
20 * 0.4 = 8km the first day;
20 * 0.2 = 4 km the second day.
