A little kid went to buy food from Foodland which was 9 miles north from his house and after he was done he went home. After he had enough money to buy a candy he loved so he rode his bike to the corner store to buy one which was 16 miles east from his house. If the little kid rode straight to the corner store after he shopped at Foodland, how far would he have road his bike?
