Starting from the first floor, a lift stops at floors 3, 4,3, 2, 3, and 4 before returning to the first floor. When two consecutive floors are the same, it means that the elevator stayed on the same floor on that segment of the trip. If the distance between the first and sixth floors is 17 m, what is the total distance, d (in m), travelled by the lift? Just enter the number below, correct to one decimal place, without the units. Type your answer.
