During the course of a 2,185 mile trip, the Archetti's used 5 full tanks of gasoline. The gas tank of their car holds 23 gallons. What was their average gas mileage? If each gallon of gas costs $2.99 per gallon, how much did they spend on gas?

Okay, let's use some math..

So multiply first..

2.99 * 5 = $14.95 that she has spent on gas..

23 / 5 = 4.6 gallons of gas left..

But this question is asking how much she had spent on gas, so your answer will be..
She has spent $14.95 on gas..

You can correct me if I'm wrong..

I hope this helps you!
