Question

Sathish is going on a 200020002000-kilometer road trip with two friends. The car consumes 666 liters of gas for every 100100100 kilometers, and gas costs \$1.20$1.20dollar sign, 1, point, 20 per liter. If Sathish and his two friends want to split the cost evenly, how much should they each pay?

Answer 1

First calculate the total amount of liters consumed:

Volume gas consumed = (6 L / 100 km) * 2000 km = 120 L

 

Then calculate the total cost:

Cost = ($1.20 / L) * 120 L = $144

 

Since there are three of them, so each must pay:

Payment of each = $144 / 3 = $48 per person

Answer:

$48 per person
