Question

 The value of the euro was recently $1.38 U.S. dollars and the price of 1 liter of gas in France is 1.35 euros.  What is the price of 1 gallon of gas in U.S. dollars in France?

Answer 1

You need a couple things to answer this question.

 

First you need the formula for gallons to liters conversion.

 

This is L = G / 0.26417

 

So 1G is equivalent to 3.7854L

 

Now you multiply that by the cost per L in Euros:

 

1.35(3.7854) = 5.1103

 

Now convert it to USD:

 

5.1103(1.38) = $7.05 USD per gallon
