Question

Andy plans to travel 1273 km. If petrol costs $2.03 per liter and his car travels 19 km on 1 liter of petrol, how much will he need to spend on petrol for the trip?

Answer 1

Andy will need to spend $136.01 on petrol for the trip.

Explanation:

Given:

distance = 1273 km

Petrol price = $2.03 per liter

Consumption = 1 li / 19km

First, we would like to know how many liters will it consume given the distance

petrol consumption = 1273km (1li/19km)

petrol consumption = 67 li

Next, compute for the total cost

Cost = 67 li ($2.03/li)

cost = $136.01
