If the total income generated from gasoline for aer was 408 million, how much would be the cost for a barrel of gasoline.
2 answers:
*Missing Information: Total number of barrels are 60 million*
The correct answer is: Option (C) $20
Explanation:
As we are interested in finding the cost for a barrel of gasoline, we need to read the percentage of gasoline from the pie-chart first—which is 34%.
Now number of barrels containing gasoline = 34% of 60 million barrels = million barrels
For all the barrels, the total income is $408 million; therefore, in order to find the per-barrel cost, we need to divide $408 by 20.4:
Hence the correct answer is $20 (Option C).
