Question 885425: if a car gets 24 mpg on the highway how much gas would be needed to drive 205 miles is gas is $4 how much money would I need ?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(24 mpg)*(x gallons) = 205 miles

24x = 205

x = 205/24

x = 8.54166666666667


Round up to get 9 gallons. You need 9 gallons of gas to drive 205 miles.

(9 gallons)*($4 dollars/1 gallon) = 9*4 = 36

So you would need $36. I recommend bringing more money because the cost of gas could easily fluctuate higher.
