- Paul wants to figure out the fuel consumption of his new SUV in the city. He made

Answer 1

Answer:

a.15.1 L/100 km; b $72.75; c. $51.34

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Fuel consumption

Fuel used = 75 L

Distance travelled = 6096 km - 5600 km = 496 km

$\text{Fuel consumption} = \dfrac{\text{75 L}}{\text{496 km}} \times \dfrac{\text{ 100 km}}{\text{100 km}} = \dfrac{\text{15.1 L}}{\text{100 km}}$

(b) Cost to fill tank

$\text{Cost} = \text{75 L} \times \dfrac{\text{\ 0.97}}{\text{1 L}} = \ 72.75$

(c) Cost per week

i. Calculate the volume of gasoline

$\text{Volume} = \text{350 km} \times \dfrac{\text{75 L}}{\text{496 km}} = \text{52.9 L}$

ii. Calculate its cost

$\text{Cost} = \text{52.9 L} \times \dfrac{\text{\ 0.97}}{\text{1 L}} = \ 51.34$
