This problem is straightforward $$rt=D$$, then Daryl/total * 100 as percent of total miles driven

Mike drives at average of 60 mph for 4 hours = 240 miles

Steve drives at average of 50 mph for 3 hours = 150 miles

Daryl drives at average of 80 mph for $$\frac{3}{2}$$ hours = 120 miles

Total distance is 240 + 150 + 120 = 510 miles

What percent of total miles does Daryl drive?

$$\frac{120 mi}{510 mi}$$ * 100 = approx 24%
