Question

A gallon of gas is currently $3.24. How much money will it cost to fill my tank, which is 19 gallons?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey I think maybe you mean MPG (miles per gallon), so let's do that.

3100 miles at 47 miles per gallon means you need to divide

3100 / 47 to see how many gallons you'll need.

3100 / 47 = 65.9 gallons. Multiply that by the cost of 3.75 for each gallon, and you get

65.9 x 3.75 = 247.12

Now just do the same thing with 73 miles per gallon. (Hint: your final cost will be much lower!)

NOTE: If the question really DID say MPH, then I don't think we can answer it with the information we have. We would still need some figures about how much gas the car uses at different speeds.

Answer 2

Answer:

Cost of 1 gallon = $3.24

Cost of 19 gallons = $3.24×19 = $61.56
