Something is missing there is no given. But here are the given for this question:

Salary = $8.75 per hour

40 hour work week

52 work week per year

5 days of work per week

Gas mileage is 21 miles per gallon

Gas costs is 1.26 per gallon

Average speed is 45 miles per hour

Daily round trip to work and back home is 34 miles

a. Kevin’s annual salary is 8.75 per hour x 40 hour work week x 52 work week per year

= $18,200

b. Kevin will spend on fuel each week:

34 miles daily round trip x 5 day work week divided by 21 miles per gallon x 1.26 per gallon

= $10.20

c. Kevin will spend _ hours on commuting

= 34 miles is the daily round trip x 5 day work week divided by 45 miles average speed per hour

= 3.78 hours

Hope this helps!
