Question 558403: The cost of a gallon of gas is 3.35 per gallon. If you travel 40 miles a day (back and forth to work) and your gas mileage is 25 miles per gallon, determine how much you will spend on gas a week.

I have tried to figure this out but I am just not sure what steps to take first. I just started this class and have been trying to teach myself because I haunt been able to make it to class. Thank you for your help!

you travel 40 mi per day; times 5 days per week is 200 mi per week

200 mi divided by 25 mi per gallon is 8 gal of gas per week

8 gal times $3.35 per gal is the cost of a weeks worth of gas
