Answer:
Justin spends $14.24 on gas to travel to work.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Average speed at which Justin goes to work = 65 miles/hour
Time taken by Justin to arrive at work = 1 hour and 30 minutes = 1.5 hours [As 30 minutes =0.5 hours]
Distance he can travel per gallon of gas = 25 miles.
Cost of per gallon of gas = $3.65
Solution:
We first determine the distance Justin travels to work.
Distance =
Distance =
Using unitary method to find the amount of gas required to cover the distance.
If 25 miles is covered in 1 gallon of gas
Then 1 mile will be covered in = gallons of gas
So, to cover 97.5 miles gas required = gallons of gas.
Using unitary method to find the cost of 3.9 gallons of gas.
Cost of 1 gallon of gas = $3.65
So, cost of 3.9 gallons of gas will be = (Answer)
