Further Explanation

Given:

Average fuel needed = 8 miles/gallon

Fuel cost = 83 cents/gallon

Doing a little research, we know that the distance between Oban and Stranraer is approximately 178 miles

First step

Calculate the fuel needed for the entire journey (x) =

$\frac{Total distance}{x gallon} = \frac{average distance}{ 1 gallon}$

$\frac{178 miles}{ x gallon} = \frac{ 8 miles}{1 gallon}$

$x = \frac{178}{8} = 22.25 gallon$

So, the journey need 22.25 gallon,

The next step is to calculate the total fuel's cost

Total cost for the journey = $22. 25  x 83 = 1846.75 cents$

1846.75 cents or $18.47
