In the real world you are not going to have a calculator on you 24/7. Nor will you have a pencil or paper to do longhand. You need to know how to accurately estimate your answers in order to be successful.
Speed=distance/time
suppose the distance of the first day is d, and the time is t
distance of the second day: d+0.17d=1.17d
time of the second day: t+0.2t=1.2t
speed of the second day: 1.17d/1.2t=0.975(d/t)=(1-0.025)(d/t)
so the speed of the second day is 2.5% slower than the first day.
