Question

Brand A automobile tires make less contact with the road than Brand B, lowering friction and allowing them to reduce fuel consumption by 200 gallons of gasoline over 50,000 miles of driving (compared to Brand B tires). If gasoline costs $3.00 per gallon and this estimate is accurate, how much money does Brand A save the customer per mile driven, compared to Brand B

Answer 1

Answer:

The money that will be saved using brand A tire compared to brand B is 0.004 x 3 = $0.012

Explanation:

For brand A automobile tire,

200 gallons of fuel is conserved over 50000miles of driving.

In 1mile, the numbers of gallons that will be conserved is: 200/50000 = 0.004gallons.

If a gallon of fuel cost $3.00

Then, the money Brand A save the customer per mile driven, compared to Brand B will be 0.004 x 3 = $0.012
