Question

Carly wants to fly to Canada, rent a car, and drive 568 miles to visit her sister in a truck that gets 21 miles per gallon. If gas costs $1.02 per liter, how much will the road trip cost her? There are 3.79 liters in 1 gallon. Round your answer to the nearest cent.

Answer 1

$104.56

Explanation:

The computation of the cost of the road trip as follows:

The total number of gallons required is

= 568 ÷ 21 miles

= 27.05 gallons.

Now

the cost of one gallon is

= 3.79 × 1.02

= $3.8658

So, the cost of the road trip is

= 27.05 × 3.8658

= $104.56
