Tourists climbed to the top of the mountain by cable car for 25 minutes. Descent from the mountain required 12 minutes more. How long did it take tourists to climb and descend from the mountain?

To solve the problem, first we find out how many minutes it took tourists to descend from the mountain, and then we summarize the result obtained and the one already available, based on the condition, and determine how much time the tourists spent on the ascent and descent from the mountain together.
