Problema Solution
At the beginning of a year, the odometer on a car read 25,124 miles. At the end of the year, it read 37,364. If the car averaged 24 mpg, how many gallons did it use during the year? How much did it cost for the gas based on today's price?
Answer provided by our tutors
the miles passed will be:
37,364 - 25,124 = 12,240 miles
the care averages 24 miles per gallon so to find the total number of gallons we divide the total number of miles with 24
12,240 : 24 = 510 gallons
there 510 gallons spent during the year.
is the gas is $3.338 per gallon then the total money spent on gas will be
510*3.338 = $1702.38
the total money spent on the gas were $1702.38.
