Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Distance=100 miles

His car can travel=25 miles per gallon

and gasoline cost $ 4 per gallon

He needs to reduce his total expenditure by $ 5

Total initial cost$=\frac{100}{25}\times 4= 16$

He need to reduce spending to $ 11

Thus he need to increase his average is

$\frac{100}{x}\times 4= 11$

x=36.36 miles per gallon

Thus he need to cover 36.36 miles in one gallon Gasoline
