Algebra.Com's Answer #531874 by JulietG(1812) You can put this solution on YOUR website! It depends upon how many miles per gallon your car gets. Typically, in city driving, about 20 mpg. \n" ); document.write( "211 / 20 = 10.55 gallons. At today's rate of ~$4 per gallon = $42.20 \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "If you happen to have a smaller car or are driving on the freeway, let's say you get closer to 27 miles per gallon. 211/27=7.81 gallons. Maybe you don't have the high taxes I do and your gas is \"only\" $3.59 gallon. Multiply # of gallons by price. \n" ); document.write( "7.81*3.59 = $28.04 \n" ); document.write( " |
