Question

you are going on a road trip over a distance of 3000 kilometers with three friends. the car consumes 6 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

Amount of gass used = 6 x 3000/100 = 6 x 30 = 180 liters

Total cost of gas used = 180 x $1.2 = $216

Amount to be contributed by each person = $216/4 = $54.
