Philip is going on a 400 mile road trip with three friends. He can travel 18 miles for every gallon of gas used. Gas costs $3.59 per gallon. If Philip and his friends want to split the cost of gas evenly, how much should each person pay?

Answer:

$19.94 approx

Explanation:

Divide 18 into 400, then take that number and multiply by 3.59. Take that answer and divide it by 4 since it's him +3 to get 19.94
