's car will go 310 miles on 15.5 gallons of gasoline in highway driving.
1 answer:
Answer: a. 126.20 gallons.
b. 2740 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
We will use unitary method in this question.
a) ∵ 310 miles can be covered by a car with the help of 15.5 gallons of gasoline
∴ 1 mile can be covered = gallons
∴2524 miles can be covered =
= 126.20 gallons
b). ∵ With 15.5 gallons of gasoline car can be driven = 310 miles
∴ With 1 gallon of gasoline car can go = 310/15.5 miles
∴ With 137 gallons can can go = (310×137)/15.5 miles
= 2740 miles.

If I deposit $400 each month into an account earning 8% interest compounded monthly, I will have $6,517 in my account in 35 years. The total money that I will put into the account is $168,000. I will earn a total compound interest of $6,117.
- Calculating the Sum of Money in 35 years
Given information is as follows,
Principal, P = $400
Rate = 8%
Time, T = 35 years
n = 12 (Compounded monthly)
The amount for compound interest is given as,
A =
A =
A = 6,517.02
A = $6,517 (to the nearest cents)
- Calculating the Amount Put in Account
Since, $400 is deposited every month for 35 years,
Amount Put in 35 years for this compound interest =$400 × 12 × 35
= $168,000
- Calculating the Compound Interest
A = P + CI
Thus, the compound interest is given by,
CI = A - P
CI = 6517 - 400
CI = $6,117
I will earn a total interest of $6,117
