actually that seems like simple math to, i think with out looking at it to hard. you add up Bernardo hiked 12.8 km in June and 13.4 km in July so 12.8+13.4 = 26.2km 

then you figure Nicole hiked the same total distance as Bernardo so there for he hiked 26.2 KM as well but he only hiked 11.5 km in June so take 26.2-11.5 and you will get 14.7km

there for Nicole hiked 14.7 km in July OR answer B
