John is a college student living at home with his parents. John writes his parents a check at the end of each year for his portion of the bills and expenses accrued throughout the year. Johns portion of the bills is $8000, annually. John works part time as a driver for a RideShare company. John knows that in order to pay his bills, his net pay must be $8000 plus the amount of money needed to pay for gas for his car. Heres what John knows:

• John knows that for every mile he drives, RideShare company pays him $1.16.
• John knows that for every mile he drives, it costs him $0.18 in gas.
• John knows that his net pay is 60% of his gross pay.

Keeping in mind that John's net pay is 60% of his gross pay, what is the amount of money that John can expect to see as his gross pay for the year in order for his net pay to cover the $8000 as well as the cost of gas driven for the year? How many miles does John need to drive in order for him to earn that amount of income? How much money is John spending annually in gas? Show your work clearly.
