The length of a trip varies directly as the amount of gasoline used. Yael's car used 16 L for the first 145 km of his trip from Toronto to Montreal. a) How much gasoline, rounded to the nearest litre, should he expect to use in the remaining 400 km of his trip? b) Can he complete the trip with a budget of $70, if gasoline costs $1.13/L?

Answer:

44

yes. the total cost is 68 which is less than 70

Step-by-step explanation:

There is positive proportionality is two variables are positively related to each other.

The equation for direct proportionality =

y = bx

where y = dependent variable

b = constant

x = independent variable

amount of gasoline = b x length of the trip  

16 = b x 145

b = 16/145 = 0.110345

a. 400 x 0.110345 = 44

total litres used for the trip = 44 + 16 = 60

total cost of the trip = 60 x 1.13 = 67.8

total amount spent on gasoline is 67.8. this is less than the budget
