Answer 1

Answer:

$552.42

4092 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The Ortiz family will travel from Indianapolis to Denver and back this summer. The driving distance between the two cities is 2,046 miles.

So, they have to travel from Indianapolis to Denver and back, (2046 × 2) =  4092 miles.

Now, their car travels about 24 miles using 1 gallon of gas and they usually spend about $3.24 per gallon of gas.

So, the total cost of gas for their travel will be $(\frac{4092}{24} \times 3.24 ) = 552.42$ dollars. (Answer)
