Question

Wilma goes to a college that is 106 miles away. Wilma drives a Honda Civic and gets 35 mpg. If Wilma plans on making 8 round trips to and from her college this year, how much will she spend on gas over the course of the year? (Assume that gas remains constant at $3.59/gal).

Answer 1

Answer: $173.96

Step-by-step explanation: If I'm not mistaken first you have to take 106 and multiply it by 2 to count for the round trips so that makes 212 miles for one trip, then you have to multiple by 8 to figure out how many miles in total which equals 1696, then you divide by the 35 to figure out how many gallons she use, which is 48.457(rounded) then you multiple that by the rate of gas which is 3.59 which means she spent 173.96(rounded to the nearest tenth)
