Question

A car requires 45 liters of petrol to travel a distance of 330 km.

1) the distance that the car can travel on 85 liters of petrol

2) the amount of petrol that the car owner has to pay to travel a distance of 990km if a liter of petrol costs $ 2.25.

Answer 1

1) The car can travel 623.3 km with 85 liters of petrol.

2) The car owner has to pay $303.8.

Explanation:

1) The distance traveled with 85 L of petrol can be found as follows:

`d = (330 km)/(45 L)*85 L = 623.3 km`

Hence, the car can travel around 623 km with 85 liters of petrol.

2) If the liter of petrol costs $2.25, then the amount of petrol that the car owner has to pay to travel a distance of 990 km is:

`x = (\$ 2.25)/(1 L)*(45 L)/(330 km)*990 km = \$ 303.8`

Therefore, the car owner has to pay $303.8.

I hope it helps you!
