Question

For spring break you and some friends plan a road trip to a sunny destination that is 2215 miles away. If you drive a car that gets 38 miles per gallon and gas costs $3.119/gal, about how much will it cost to get to your destination

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  $181.81

Step-by-step explanation:

  (2215 mi)/(38 mi/gal)×($3.119/gal) = $181.8048

We round this up so that we have enough gas to get there. We don't want to have to walk the last 309 feet to the destination.

  It will cost $181.81 to get to the destination.
