Ramón and Merissa are driving to New York City after college. The first 300 miles they spend $12.50 on gas.

At this rate, if they drive 960 miles, how much will the gas cost for the entire trip?

Answer:

the gas cost for the entire trip is $77

Explanation:

Given that

For the first 300 miles, it spend $12.50 on gas

We need to find out the gas cost for the overall trip at the time when it drives 960 miles

So, it should be

= 960 miles ÷ $12.50

= $76.80

= $77

Hence, the gas cost for the entire trip is $77
