Answer 1

Answer:3.5$

Step-by-step explanation:r. First we have to let the car travel the same distance before and after the modification.Suppose 210 miles

Before:150/5=30mile/gallon so we need 210/30=7gallons

After:210/6=35mile/gallon so we need 210/35=6gallons

The difference is 1 gallon.1 multipy by 3.5$/gallon=3.5$
