If your car gets 22 miles per gallon, how much does it cost to drive 430 miles when gasoline costs $3.10 per gallon?

Answer 1

First, you would need to determine the number of gallons of gas necessary to drive 430 miles. Since you can travel 22 miles on each gallon of gas, you would divide 430 by 22 to determine the number of gallons needed to make the trip:

430/22 = 19.545 gallons of gas

Since each gallon costs $3.10, the total cost will be: 19.545 gallons * $3.10 = $60.59 for the trip
