Question 1127863
----------
..., 21 miles per gallon,... Brady needs gas for his jeep, which gets 21 miles per gallon for gas mileage. When he stops at the gas station, he already has 5 gallons of gas in his tank. He buys more gas for $1.40 per gallon. If Brady spends $19.50 on gas, what is the total distance the boys could travel?
----------


x gallons to top-off


Tank holds 5+x gallons.


{{{x*gallons*1.4(dollars/gallon)=19.5*dollars}}}

{{{1.4x=19.5}}}

{{{x=19.5.1,4}}}

{{{x=13.93*gallons}}}


Total distance that the full tank will allow:

{{{highlight((5+19.5/1.4)*gallons*21(miles/gallons))}}}-------compute this.
