Answer 1

$1166.32

Explanation:

We are given that

Total number of working days=20

Average speed of truck=45mph

Distance drive per day=350 miles

Distance traveled in 1 gallon=21 miles

Cost per gallon=$3.499

We have to find the money spend on gas

Total distance traveled in 20 days=
`350(20)=7000miles`

Total gas used in 20 days=
`(7000)/(21)`

Total gas used in 20 days=333.33 gallon

Cost of 333.33 gallon=
`3.499* 333.33`

Cost of 333.33 gallon=$1166.32

Hence, money spend on gas last month=$1166.32
