The length of hours Gilbert drove is 7.5 hours.

The length of hours Brian drove is 4.1 hours.

<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:

  • Gilbert averaged = 45 miles per hour
  • Brain averaged = 65 miles per hour
  • Total hours = 11.6 hours
  • Total distance = 604 miles

Let 'x' be the hours Gilbert drove.

Let 'y' be the hours Brian drove.

x+y = 11.6  -----(1)

45x+65y = 604 -----(2)

Multiply (1) by 45 and subtract (2) from (1)

 45x+45y = 522

-(<u>45x+65y = 604</u>)

 <u>      -20y = -82 </u>

y = 82/20

y = 4.1 hours

The length of hours Brian drove = 4.1 hours

Substitute y=4.1 in (1)

x+4.1 = 11.6

x = 7.5 hours

The length of hours Gilbert drove = 7.5 hours

valkas [14]
You have the starting price of $1.99. To get the increased price, divide 1.99 by .56 (.56 is the decimal form of 56%). You would get $3.55. This is for the year 2007. So for 2008, divide 3.55 by .42. The answer is $8.45. You can check the answers by multiplying the answers you go the the percentage. Ex. 8.45* .42=3.55 (rounded)
