I am on the topic "Setting up the math for a two-step quantitative problem" on ALEKS right now and I am very confused with how they are getting to the answers. Also the explanations that they give just confuse me more. Below is one of the questions that I was given.

Set the math up. But don't do any of it. Just leave your answer as a math expression.

Also, be sure your answer includes all the correct unit symbols.
