Question

Maria Fay bought four Dunlop tires at a local Goodyear store. The salesperson told her that her mileage would increase by 6%. Before this purchase, Maria was getting 24 mpg. What should her mileage be with the new tires?

Note: Round to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

If Maria's mileage increased by 6%, her new mileage would be 24 x 1.06 = 25.44 mpg. Rounding to the nearest hundredth gives us 25.44 rounded to 25.44. Therefore, her new mileage with the new tires should be 25.44 mpg (rounded to the nearest hundredth).
