    110km

    Step-by-step explanation:

    If she walks 18km on the first day and each day since, she walked 90percent of what she walked the day before.

    Second day = 90% of 18km

    Second day = 90/100 * 18

    = 16.2km

    Third day = 90% of distance walked second day

    Third day = 90/100 * 16.2

    = 14.58km

    Fourth day = 0.9 * 14.58

    = 13.12km

    Fifth day = 0.9*13.122 = 11.81km

    Sixth day = 0.9*11.81 = 10.63km

    7th day = 0.9*10.63 = 9.57km

    8th day = 0.9*9.57 = 5.74km

    9th day = 0.9*5.74 = 5.17km

    10th day = 0.9*5.17 = 4.65km

    At the end of the 10th day, the total distance covered will be sum of all the distances

    = 18+16.2+14.58+13.12+11.81+10.63+

    9.57+5.74+5.17+4.65

    = 109.47km

    = 110km to nearest kilometers
