Darnell's car used 8 gallons or gasoline to travel 340 miles. After a mechanic worked on the car, it used 7 gallons of gasoline to travel 350 miles. If the price of gasoline was approximately $4.00 per gallon, how much less to the nearest cent per mile did it coast to run the car after the mechanic worked on it

8 gallons/340 miles vs. 7 gallons/350 miles
$32/340 miles vs. $28/350 miles
$1.133/1 miles vs. $0.08/1 mile
113 cents/mile vs. 8 cents per mile

113 cents- 8 cents = 105 cents

The answer is 105 cents/mile.
