From the question
Miles covered for bike course = 6 miles
Total miles of course = 15 miles
In percentage, this becomes
Let z = percentage of miles covered
Hence
[tex]z=\frac{\text{miles covered}}{Total\text{ miles}}\times100\text{\%}[/tex]Substitute in the values to get
[tex]z=\frac{6}{15}\times100\text{\%}[/tex]Simplify:
[tex]\begin{gathered} z=\frac{2}{5}\times100\text{\%} \\ z=2\times20\text{\%} \\ z=40\text{\%} \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the percentage of the course Debra has ridden so far is 40%
