Question

The same car makes a trip of 640 miles. Using the answer you calculated above, what is the total cost of gasoline for the trip? The answer above was $.08 per mile

Answer 1

`\text{Total cost = \$51.20}`

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance covered in trip = 640 miles

The cost per mile = $0.08

The cost of the total trip:

`\begin{gathered} Total\text{ }cost=\text{ Distance covered in the trip }*\text{ cost per trip} \\ \text{Total cost = 640 miles }*\text{ }\frac{\text{ \$}0.08\text{ }}{\text{mile}} \\ \text{Total cost = 640 }*\text{ 0.08} \end{gathered}`
`\text{Total cost of gasoline for the trip = \$51.20}`
