So, after the mechanic worked on it, it only does 7 gallons for 350miles, how many gallons will it be at that rate, for 340 miles then?

\bf \begin{array}{ccll}
gallons&miles\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
7&350\\
x&340
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{7}{x}=\cfrac{350}{340}\implies \cfrac{7\cdot 340}{350}=x\implies 6.8=x

well, each gallon is 4 bucks, for 6.8 gallons that'd be 6.8*4.

we already know that before the mechanic worked on it, it was doing 8gallons for the same 340 miles, and at 4 bucks a gallon that'd be 8*4.

how much is her savings?

\bf \stackrel{\stackrel{\textit{gallons cost}}{\textit{before being fixed}}}{(8\cdot 4)}\qquad -\qquad \stackrel{\stackrel{\textit{gallons cost}}{\textit{after it was fixed}}}{(6.8\cdot 4)}

liq [111]
Let C be the number of cats of the superhero. With this, the number of cats of nemesis have is 3C/4 + 7. The numbers should be equal such that,
                                     C = 3C/4 + 7
The value of C from the equation is 28. Thus, the number of cats of the nemesis is 28.
