It helps to think of a simpler problem. Let's say mpg is 20 and 10% higher on a smooth road.
How many miles will you get with one gallon on a regular road?
How many more miles will you get on a smooth road? 10% more, right? How much is that?
OK - so you've now solved a simpler problem. Use the exact some process to solve your, more complicated, problem.
All you have to do is add all of the fractions up.
If you divide 783 by 18 you'll get 43.5
Hope this helped! (:
