Given that Josh is looking to get a new car because he decided he was spending too much on gas, and over the past year he found that he drove 7,700 miles, and at current gas prices of $4.5 he was getting about 27 miles per gallon, To determine, if he bought a vehicle that realizes 33 miles per gallon, what might be a reasonable estimate of monthly gas costs, the following calculation must be made:
27 = 100
33 = X
3300 / 27 = X
122.22 = X
122.22 = 100
100 = X
10000 / 122.22 = X
81.81 = X
(7700 / 33) x 4.5 = X
233.33 x 4.5 = X
1050 = X
Therefore, Josh's monthly fuel expenses are $1,050.
