Answer 2

$7.57

Explanation:

You want the cost of gas for a trip of 150 miles, given a gas cost of $2.07 per gallon, and mileage of 41 miles per gallon.

Cost

The cost per mile is ...

($2.07/gal)/(41 mi/gal) = $2.07/41 per mile

The cost for 150 miles will be 150 times this:

$2.07/41 × 150 ≈ $7.57

It will cost about $7.57 for the gas to travel 150 miles.
