Question 194343: Sam recently drove a total of 700 miles on a business trip. if his car averaged35 miles per gallon of gasoline and gasoline cost $1.25 per gallon, what was the cost in dollars of the gasoline for the trip? Answer by javeria13(7) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
35* 20 is 700 ..so Sam basically needed 20 gallons of gasoline for his car for the whole teip.
1 gallon of gasoline costs = $1.25
so all you have to do is multiply 20 by 1.25.
20*1.25= 25..
so the overall cost for this trip was $25.
hope this helps..
