Ben is traveling to Santa Cruz and needs a full tank of gas. A full tank of gas gives him a total of 260 miles until empty. So Ben goes to the gas station to fill up his tank but he only has $11.86. If $11.86 only gives Ben a total of 60 miles until empty, how much money does he need in all, to get a full tank of gas to drive to Santa Cruz? Round your answer to the nearest dollar. ?

260 miles / 60 miles = 4 1/3

He would need 4 1/3 more gas:


11.86 x 4 1/3 = 51.39


he would need $51.39
