Adam is traveling from NY to Washington, a distance of 450 miles. If his car averages 15 miles per gallon, what is the cost of his trip from NY to Washington and back if gasoline costs 50 cents per

gallon?

Answer 1

450 miles consume 450÷15 = 30 gallon per a way

For round trip, it will consume 30*2=60 galloon

1 gallon costs 50 cents

30 galloon costs 30*50=1500 cents per a way

For round trip, 1500*2=3000 cents
