you first divide 738 miles by 18 miles per gallon, which says you must get 1 gallon of gas 41 times. Then multiply 41 by $2.24 to get $91.84. Round it to the nearest cent $91.80

Answer 2

Total cost of gasoline would be $91.80

Explanation:

SUV that covers distance per gallon gasoline = 18 miles

You traveled total = 738 miles

Gasoline used in 738 miles =
`(738)/(18)` = 41 gallons

The cost of gasoline = $2.24 per gallon

Therefore, 41 gallons of gasoline costs = 41 × 2.24 = $91.84

Total cost of gasoline would be $91.84 rounded to 91.80
