Morgan needs gas for her Jeep which gets 27 miles per gallon for gas mileage.
-------
She stopped at a gas station when she already have 8 gallons in her tank.
-------
She bought more gas at $1.50 per gallon
====
If Morgan spent 17.50 on gas what is the total distance the girl could travel?
------------------
# of gallons she bought:: 17.50/1.50 = 11 2/3
------
Total gallons she had:: 11 2/3 + 8 = 19 2/3
------
Ans: Total distance she could drive:: 19 2/3 *27 = 531 miles
