Answer: 104.85 Dollars

Explanation: You are given 101km/day and are trying to convert to Dollars/weeks which can be done with simple stoichiometry.


(101 km)/(1 day) * (7 days)/(1 week) * (1 mile)/(1.61 km) *(1 gal)/(22 miles) * (3.79liters)/(1gal)*(1.1Euros)/(1liter)*(1.26Dollars)/(1Euro)

  • You can cancel all the units besides Dollars and weeks as the rest appear in the numberator and demonimator.
  • Multiply everything out and you get a final answer of 104.85 Dollars per week
