    Car B = 43 miles per gallon

    Car A = 43+4=47 miles per gallons

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let the mileage of Car B be x miles per gallon

    Hence the mileage of Car A will be x+4 miles per gallon

    Distance traveled by each car in 1 gallon

    Car A = x+4

    Car B = x

    Total Distance covered by both car in 1 gallon = x + (x+4) which is given as 90 miles

    Hence x + (x+4) = 90

    2x+4=90

    2x=86

    dividing both sides by 2 we get

    x=43

    Mileage of Car B = 43 miles per gallon

    Mileage of Car A = 43+4=47 miles per gallons
