Two pedestrians set off from cities A and B towards each other. The first traveled 2 km before the meeting, and the second traveled 52% of the distance between cities. What is the distance between cities?

The total distance between cities is 100%, since the second pedestrian walked 52% of the distance between cities, the first walked 100% – 52% = 48%. Therefore, the first pedestrian traveled 12 km, which is 48%, and the second traveled x km, which is 52%.
Let’s compose and solve the equation.
12 km – 48%;
x km – 52%.
x = 12 * 52/48 = 13 km.
Find the distance between cities;
12 km is the distance covered by the first pedestrian,
13 km is the distance covered by the second pedestrian.
12 + 13 = 25 km.
Answer: the distance between cities is 25 km.
