Question

Melissa travelled 12500km in her car last year, and with an average fuel consumption of 8.85L/100km. If Melissa paid an average fuel price of 158c/L during the year, what was her weekly fuel cost

Answer 1

Explanation:

First find the number of liters needed to go 12500 km

Fuel = 12500 km * (8.85 L / 100 km)

Fuel = 1106.25 Liters

Now that we know the number of liters we need, we can find the cost.

1106.25 L * 158 c / L

174787.5 cents.

I fear going any further because I don't know where you reside. If you live in a place where they have dollars, then you can divide by 100 to get the dollar amount

1747875 / 100 = 1747,88 dollars
