Question

Four friends plan to rent a car to go on a camping trip. They will drive a total of 450 miles. The cost of gasoline is​ $2.20 per gallon.
1. Write an algebraic expression for the total cost of the gasoline. Let m equal the number of miles​ driven, g equal the number of miles per​ gallon, and p equal the price per gallon of gasoline.

PLEASE I NEED HELP ASAP !!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

t = (m / g) * p

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are given a variable for every part of the equation that we need we can go ahead and create the following equation where t equals the total cost

t = (m / g) * p

In this equation, we need to first divide the total number of miles by the number of miles that the car gets per gallon. This would give us the total number of gallons that the car would use during the entire trip. We then multiply the number of gallons by the price per gallon to get the final cost of the entire trip.
