You drive an average of 750 miles per week in a car that gets 28 miles per gallon. With gasoline prices at $3.40 per gallon, what would be the difference in total weekly cost of gasoline if you start driving an SUV that gets 20 miles per gallon?

Answer:

$36.41/week

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide 750 miles/wk by 28 MPG -> = 26.79 gallons/week (I rounded.)

Divide 750 miles/wk by 20 MPG -> = 37.50 gallons/week

Car -> 26.79 gallons x $3.40 = $91.09

SUV -> 37.50 gallons x $3.40 = $127.50

$127.50 - $91.09 = Difference of $36.41/week
