Question

You are going on a road trip over a distance of 3000 kilometers with three friends. The car consumes 66 liters of gas per 100 kilometers and gas costs $1.20 per liter.

If you want to split the cost of gas evenly between the four of you, how much should each of you chip in?

Answer 1

Each person should chip in $0.83

Explanation:

Total cost =3000km(66/100)(1.20/L)

=45.46 × 1.20

=$54.55

Cost per person = ($54.55/66)

=$0.83 person

Each person should chip in $0.83
