Answer:
A. 8 gallons
B. Drive by car is $59.4 cheaper than travel by train
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the scenario, given data are as follows,
Total drive = 400 miles
Total drive per gallon = 50 miles
Fuel cost per gallon = $4.45
A. So, Total fuel required to drive 400 miles can be calculated as follows,
Total fuel required = Total drive ÷ Total drive per gallon
By putting value, we get,
Total fuel required = 400 ÷ 50
= 8 gallons
B. Total cost if drive by car = 8 gallons × $4.45 = $35.6
Cost if travel by train = $95
Hence it is clearly shows that drive by car is much cheaper than travel by train.
Cost saved by travel by car = $95 - $35.6 = $59.4
So, drive by car is $59.4 cheaper than travel by train.
