Question

You and your friends are organizing a trip to Europe. Your plan is to rent a car and drive through the major European capitals. By consulting a map you estimate that you will cover a total distance of 5000 km. Consider the euro-dollar exchange rate given in the introduction and use unit conversion to work through these simple problems. Part A You select a rental package that includes a car with an average consumption of 6.00 liters of fuel per 100 km. Considering that in Europe the average fuel cost is 1.063 euros/liter, how much (in US dollars) will you spend in fuel on your trip

Answer 1

To spend $376.302 as cost of fuel for the trip

Step-by-step explanation:

Total cost of petrol = Fuel consumption per km * distance * cost of petrol

6/100 * 5000km * 1.063 Euro = 318.9 Euro

Taking 1 Euro = 1.18 U.S dollars

Therefore, 318.9 Euro * 1.18 = $376.302
