A car averages 27 miles per gallon. If gas costs $4.04 per gallon, which of the following is closest to how much the gas would cost for this car to travel 2,727 typical miles?

Sagot :

27 miles = $4.04 of gas

[tex] \frac{27}{2,727} = \frac{4.04}{x} [/tex]

Cross multiply

[tex]27x = 11017.08[/tex]

Divide 27 from both sides

[tex] \frac{27x}{27} = \frac{11017.08}{27} [/tex]

[tex]408.04[/tex]

The gas would cost $408.04 to travel 2,727 typical miles
