Always check the answer choices before you do ANY work.

The complete round trip consists of driving to the service center and then back home again.
So, once the technician drives to the service center he/she has already competed 50% of the entire trip.
Since the technician completes a portion of the trip back home, the correct answer must be greater than 50%
Only one answer choice works.
