Question

Person A spends $9.80 on gas. The car drives 27 miles per gallon and the driver drives 135 miles.

Person B's car gets 29 miles per gallon and spends $14.28 on gas to drive 203 miles.

If person A spends $13.72 on gas at the same rate, and person B spends $16.32 on gas, what is the difference in the amount of miles the cars can travel before running out of gas?

Answer 1

I think the answer is $72.52

Answer 2

Car B can drive 43 more miles than car A before running out of gas

Car A= $1.96 per gallon
Car B= $2.04 per gallon

Car A- 7 gal. x 27 mi./gal= 189 mi.
Car B- 8 gal. X 29 mi./gal= 232 mi.

232-189= 43
