Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Givens
His tank contains 8 gallons
He spends 16.50 on gas
A gallon of gas costs 1.50 dollars
Millage = 30 mpg
Find the gas added.
Total gas (in gallons) added = amount spent / cost per gallon
Total gas (in gallons) added = 16.50 / 1.50
Total gas (in gallons) added = 11 gallons.
Find the total number of gallons in his tank.
Total = what was there + What he bought.
Total = 8 + 11
Total = 19 gallons.
Find the distance he can travel
Total distance = gallons * miles / gallon
Total distance = 19 * 30
Total distance = 570 miles.
