Question

Philip is going on a 400040004000-kilometer road trip with three friends. The car consumes 666 liters of gas per 100100100 kilometers, and gas costs \$1.50$1.50dollar sign, 1, point, 50 per liter.

Answer 1

If Philip and his friends want to split the cost of gas evenly, how much should they each pay?
the amount of gas it consumes per 100 km = 6 l
the cost per litre = $1.50
the total distance of the trip = 4000 km
If 100 km consumes - 6 l
Then 1 km consumes - 6/100 l/km
therefore amount of gas for the whole trip of 4000 km = 6/100 l/km * 4000 km
the gas consumed = 240 l
cost of 1 l = $1.5
then the cost of gas for the whole ride = 240 l * $ 1.5
cost = $ 360
there are 4 friends , cost of each friend = $ 360/4 = $ 90
cost each friend has to pay = $ 90
