Georgina needs to buy petrol for her car.
Her car can hold 70 litres of petrol.
There are already 20 litres of petrol in the tank.
Georgina is going to fill up the petrol tank.
The price of petrol is 115.9p per litre
Georgina has a voucher that gives her 3% off the price of petrol.
How much does Georgina have to pay for the petrol?

Answer:

Georgina has to pay £56.21

Hope this helps!

Explanation:

She needs 50 more litres of petrol,

50*115.9 = 5795p or £ 57.95

57.95*0.3 = 17.385 = 1.7385, 3% = 1.7385

57.95 - 3% or 57.95 - 1.7385 ( 1.74 ) = 56.21

I had to search this up because apparently, p means a different currency and the rest was in pounds (£) so...........
