Question

Sean's car used 8 gallons of gasoline to travel 340 miles. After a mechanic worked on the car, it used 7 gallons of gasoline to travel 350 miles. If the price of gasoline was approximately $4.00 per gallon, how much less, to the nearest cent per mile, did it cost to the car after the mechanic worked on it?

Answer 1

7 gallons of gasoline=350 miles
1 gallon of gasoline=50 miles
0.02 gallons =1 mile
4.00×0.02=0.08 cents per mile
