(second part) if gasoline costs $3.06 per gallon, what is micks annual cost of gasoline?

Answer 1

Answer: (pt 1) 454.5 gallons.   (pt 2) $1,390.77

Step-by-step explanation:

PART ONE:

$\frac{33}{1} = \frac{15,000}{x}$

33 · x = 15,000 · 1

33x = 15,000

x = $\frac{15,000}{33}$

x = 454.5 (rounded)

PART TWO:

454.5 · 3.06 = 1,390.77
