Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the percent, we need to divide the distance traveled on the first day by the total distance and then multiply by 100. 
14 miles / 20 miles = 0.70
0.70 x 100 = 70%
Rounding to the nearest hundredth, we get 70%. Therefore, the answer is D) 70%. To find the percentage of the total distance traveled on the first day, we can use the following equation:

Percent = (distance traveled on first day / total distance) x 100%

Plugging in the given values, we get:

Percent = (14 / 20) x 100%
Percent = 0.70 x 100%
Percent = 70%

Therefore, the answer is D) 70%.
