Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For every 66 liters — 100100 kilometers

How many liters do we need for :

20002000 kilometers

By cross multiplication we have :

20002000/100100 × 66 =

13188.13 liters

Every liter costs $ 1.20

Therefore the cost is :

13188.13 × 1.20 = $ 15825.76

Divide this among three friends :

15825.76/3 = 5275.25

$ 5275.28

Answer 2

Answer:

Each person will pay $ 528.

Step-by-step explanation:

Original question : Sathish is going on a 2000-kilometer road trip with two friends. The car consumes 66 liters of gas for every 100 kilometers, and gas costs \$1.20 per liter. If Sathish and his two friends want to split the cost evenly, how much should they each pay?

ANSWER

For every 100 km gas consumed = 66 liters

For 2000 km  gas consumed = 66 x 2000/100

= 1320 liters

cost of 1 liter of gas = $ 1.2

=> cost of 1320 liters of gas = 1320 x 1.2 = $ 1584

This cost is shared by 3 person

=> cost shared by each person = 1584/3 = $ 528

Hence each person should pay $ 528.
