Question 117802
Help please...
Gasoline is about $2 per gallon.  You use about 1 1/2 gallons each day driving to and from work. How much should you budget for gasoline over the next month (about 20 workdays)?

a) $50  b) $60  c) $70  d)  $40

Thank you in advance

Determine the amount of gaseline used for the month.

#gal per day * # of workdays per month = total amount of gas
1.5 * 20 = 30 

So, you know 30 gallons are used per month.  If the cost of a gallon of gas is $2, then multiply this amount times the number of gallons.

$2 * 30 = $60

Thus, $60 should be budgeted for gas expenditures.

Hope this helps.
