You are trying to solve what percent of the difference between $26.60 and $18 is of $24.60, so:
$24.60 - $18 = $6.60
24.60x = $6.60
x = 6.60/24.60
x = 0.2683
So the percent increase is 26.83%
I'm not sure what you are asking if your looking for the hours it should take him to get there it's about 10 hours adding the 2 and 3 he already drove... 5 left to go.. hope that helps
10.2 is the right answer 10 dollars and 20 cents is more then 10 dollars and 02 cents
I have attached an image explaining how to solve this problem.
