Answer: the old price for 1 liter is $0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the old price for 1 liter of petrol.

Last week a man bought 20 liters at the old price. This means that the total amount that the man paid for 20 liters is 20x.

The cost of petrol rises by 2 cents a liter. This means that the new price per liter is x + 2/100 = x + 0.02

This week he bought 10 liters at the new price. This means that the total amount that the man paid for 10 liters is

10(x + 0.02)

= 10x + 0.2

Altogether, the petrol costs $9.20. This means that

20x + 10x + 0.2 = 9.2

30x + 0.2 = 9.2

30x = 9.2 - 0.2

30x = 9

x = 9/30

x = 0.3

Your company is hosting a benefit 5 kilometer race.
Mars2501 [29]
In this question the main part is to convert the kilometer to miles and then writing the answer to the nearest tenth of a mile. the information given in the question is that the race is for a distance of 5 kilometers.
Now we already know
1 km = 0.6214 mile
Then
5 km = ( 0.6214 * 5) miles
         = 3.107 miles
         = 3.11 miles
So the actual distance when converted to miles will be 3.11 miles. I hope this is the answer you were looking for. This is the simplest way for doing such problems and in future you can follow this method to find the answers without the need of any help.
