$A$ boy of mass $20\, kg$ is standing on an $80\, kg$ cart that is free to move. There is negligible friction between the cart and the ground. Initially,the boy is standing $25\, m$ from a wall. If he walks $10\, m$ on the cart towards the wall,then the final distance of the boy from the wall will be ........ $m$
