You can put this solution on YOUR website!
+d+=+r%2At+
+924+=+70t+
+t+=+924%2F70+
+t+=+13.2+ hrs
------------------
You need to know the rate for
the car in miles/gallon
----------------------
Then you would do:
[ miles driven ] / [ miles/gallon ] = [ gallons used ]
the:
[ $3 / gallon ] x [ gallons used ] = [ dollars spent ]
