Question

The value of the Euro is currently $1.45 U.S. and the price of 1 liter of gasoline in France is 1.44 Euro.What is the price of 1 gallon of gasoline in U.S. dollars in France?

Answer 1

$8 per gallon.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the value of the Euro is currently $1.45 U.S. and the price of 1 liter of gasoline in France is 1.44 Euro.

I liter of gasoline = £1.44

But 1 liter of gasoline = 0.26417 gallon

= £1.44/1 liter * 1liter/0.26147 gallon

= £5.507/gallon

Remember, £1 = $1.45

= £5.507/gallon * $1.45/£1

= $7.986/gallon

Therefore, 1 gallon is $8 in France.
