Answer 1

Ben traveled 93.75% of his usual distance.

Explanation:

Given that Ben travels a regular distance of 80 miles to reach office, and today he used an alternative route that covered a distance of only 75 miles, to determine what is the decrease in the percentage of the distance traveled by Ben, the following calculation must be done:

80 = 100

75 = X

75 x 100/80 = X

93.75 = X

Therefore, Ben traveled 93.75% of his usual distance.
