Question 178529
last month i wrote down the following facts while on my delivery job: i work 5 days a week for 8 hours a day, last month i worked 20 days, my truck gets 21 miles per gallon, i drive at an average speed of 45 miles per hour, i drive about 350 miles per day, gas cost $3.499 per gallon. how much did i spend on gas last month?
:
so total miles driven in the month is 
:
20(350)=7000 miles
:
to find the gallons used you need to divide by 21 which is the trucks miles per gallon
:
7000/21=333.33 gallons were purchased and used:
:
and to figure gas costs for the month we need to multiply gallons of gas used by price per gallon
:
{{{highlight(333.33(3.499)=1166.32)}}}dollars
