Question

Ms. Smith drove a total of 700 miles on a

business trip. If her car averaged 35 miles per
gallon of gasoline and gasoline cost $3.25 per
gallon, what was the cost in dollars of the
gasoline for the trip?

Answer 1

Ok , so she drove 700 miles to see how many gallons of gas she used you would have to divide 700 into 35 miles giving you so gallon,

but you want to know the cost so you take the 20 gallons of gas and you multiply it but the cost of one gallon giving you 65 dollars.

and to check you take the 65 dollars and divide it into 3.25 and should get 20 gallons

Explanation:

700/35=20

20/3.25

anwser 65 dollars
