Question

A truck averages 23 mpg. Gas costs $2.28 per gallon.

How much would it cost to pay for the gas if this truck made a trip of 2,093 miles?

a) $52.44 b) $183.55 c) $207.48 d) $1,097.50

Answer 1

$207.48

Explanation:

The truck uses 1 gallon of fuel to cover 23 miles.

Now, it intends covering a total of 2,093 miles. The total number of gallons it would use will be 2093/23= 91 gallons

We know that a gallon costs $2.28 , then 91 gallons would cost 91 * 2.28 = $207.48
