Question

Timothy drove his race car 10% farther using the gasoline from Smith's Station compared to gasoline from Jack's Station. After Timothy filled his gas tank at Jack's Station, he traveled 480 miles. How far did he travel on a tank of gas from Smith's Station?

Answer 1

Timothy traveled 528 miles using the gasoline from Smith's Station, which is 10% farther than the 480 miles he traveled with gasoline from Jack's Station.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate how far Timothy traveled using the gasoline from Smith's Station, we need to determine what 10% more than the 480 miles he traveled using gasoline from Jack's Station is. First, let's find 10% of 480 miles:

• 10% of 480 miles = 0.10 × 480 miles = 48 miles.

Now, let's add this additional distance to the original 480 miles to find the total distance traveled with gas from Smith's Station:

• 480 miles + 48 miles = 528 miles.

Therefore, Timothy traveled 528 miles on a tank of gas from Smith's Station.

Answer 2

528

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 480

1.1 x = 480 * 1.1

480 + 48 = 528
