Puis traveled one-quarter of the journey to his destination. He still has to cover 24km to reach the third-way mark. How many kilometers does he still have to travel to reach his destination

The distance Puis still have to travel to reach his destination is 72 km.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters about Puis journey are

Distance covered by Puis = 1/4 of total distance

Distance remaining for Puis to complete the journey = 3/4 of the journey

Distance of Puis from the third-way (central) mark = 24 km

Therefore;

Distance from 1/4 of journey to 1/2 of journey = 24 km

Hence, 1/2 - 1/4 = 1/4 of the journey = 24 km

Which gives Total distance covered by Puis = 24 km

Total distance of the journey = 4 × 24 km = 96 km

The distance Puis still have to travel to reach his destination = 96 - 24 = 72 km.
