Question

A scooter can travel between 22 and 28 miles on each gallon of gasoline.If one gallon of gasoline costs between $3.75 and 3.95 per gallon,about how much will it cost to travel 75 miles?

Answer 1

Answer:

Cost to travel 75 miles = 11.55 $

Explanation:

 A scooter can travel between 22 and 28 miles on each gallon of gasoline.

 Average distance a scooter can travel with each gallon of gasoline = (22+28)/2 = 25 miles.

 One gallon of gasoline costs between $3.75 and 3.95 per gallon.

Average cost for one gallon of gasoline = (3.75+3.95)/2 = 3.85 $

We need to find cost for traveling 75 miles.

Gasoline required = Total miles/ Average distance a scooter can travel with each gallon of gasoline

                              = 75/25 = 3 gallons.

Cost to travel 75 miles = Gasoline required x Average cost for one gallon of gasoline

                          = 3 x 3.85

                          = 11.55 $
