J=g22+0.146 Make sure that you fill in each answer area before checking "How Did I Do?". Find the cost of driving Jenna’s car (J) when the price of gas is $3.23/gallon.

Answer 1

Answer:

Cost of driving Jenna's car is $0.293 per mile when the price of gas is $3.23 per gallon.

Step-by-step explanation:

Expression given in the question is not correct, it is actually

$J=\frac{g}{22}+0.146$

Since expression that represents Jenna's cost to drive her car for work is

$J=\frac{g}{22}+0.146$

Where J = cost of driving Jenna's car

g = cost of gas

We have to find the cost of driving Jenna's car when the price of gas is $3.23 per gallons.

Now we plug in the value of g = $3.23 per gallon in the given expression.

$J=\frac{3.23}{22}+0.146$

  = 0.1468 + 0.146

  = 0.2928

  ≈ $0.293 per mile

Therefore, cost of driving Jenna's car is $0.293 per mile when the price of gas is $3.23 per gallon.
