Set up two equations:

1st:  P (for Price family) + J (for Jenkins family) = 45 hours

2nd: 20P + 35J = 1200 liters

Rewrite the first equation as P = 45 – J

Replace P in the second equation:

20(45-J) + 35J = 1200

Simplify:

900 -20J + 35J = 1200

900 +15J = 1200

Subtract 900 from both sides:

15J = 300

Divide both sides by 15:

J = 300/15

J = 20

Jenkins used theirs for 20 hours

Price used theirs for 45-20 = 25 hours.
