The minibus runs at 16 miles to a gallon of diesel. Diesel costs £1.43 per litre. There are 4.55 litres to a gallon.

How much will it cost to travel the 192 miles to Brighton?

Answer 1

Answer: it will cost £78.0672 to travel the 192 miles to Brighton.

Explanation:

The minibus runs at 16 miles to a gallon of diesel. If there are 4.55 litres to a gallon and diesel costs £1.43 per litre, it means that the cost of a gallon of diesel would be

4.55 × 1.43 = £6.5056

This means that the cost of running 16 miles is £6.5056

Therefore, the amount that it will cost to travel the 192 miles to Brighton would be

(192 × 6.5056)/16 = £78.0672
