Answer:
$81.07
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1
It is 1835 km from El Paso to Mexico City.
We are told it is a round trip. This means the distance is multiplied by 2
= 1835km × 2
= 3670km
Step 2
We convert the distance min kilometers from km to miles
1.609 km = 1 mile
3670km =
Cross Multiply
= 3670km × 1 mile/1.609km
= 2280.919826 miles
Step 3
Your friend's car gets 28 miles to the gallon.
28 miles = 1 gallon of gas
2280.919826 miles =
Cross Multiply
2280.919826 miles × 1 gallon of gas/28 miles
= 81.4614223571 gallons.
Step 4
1 gallon = 3.78 liters
81.4614223571 gallons=
81.4614223571 gallons × 3.78
= 307.92417651 liters
Step 5
Gas costs 13.23 pesos per liter in Mexico.
1 liter = 13.23 pesos
307.92417651 liters =
Cross Multiply
307.92417651 liters × 13.23 pesos
= 4073.83685523 pesos.
Step 6
It is 16.75 pesos to $1 US.
16.75 = $1
4073.83685523 pesos =
4073.83685523 pesos × $1/16.75
= $243.214140611
Step 7
There are 3 friends
How much in US $ would it cost each person in gas to make the round trip?
= $243.214140611/3
= $81.0713802036

Therefore, it would cost each person $81.07 in gas to make the round trip.
