Question

plz hurry!!! need help quickly. exam tomorrow!!!!

Philip is going on a 4000-kilometer road trip with three friends. The car consumes 6 liters of gas per 100 kilometers, and gas costs $1.50 per liter.
If Philip and his friends want to split the cost of gas evenly, how much should they each pay?

Answer 1

Total distance travelled= 4000kms
Gas consumed in 100kms= 6liter

Therefore, gas consumed in 4000kms=
$\frac{4000}{100} \times 60 = 240liters$

now,
cost of 240liters of gas=240×1.50= 360$.

this 360$ they have to distribute among them including Philip and his 3 friends..
total money each will have to pay=360/4= 90$ ans..
