Question

A family has two cars. The first car has a fuel efficiency of 15 miles per gallon of gas and the second has a fuel efficiency of 35 miles per gallon of gas. During
one particular week, the two cars went combined total of 1425 miles, for a total gas consumption of 55 gallons. How many gallons were consumed by each of
the two cars that week?

Answer 1

Answer:

Car 1 - 25

Car 2 - 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming we use car 2 as much as possible than car 2 consumed 30 gallons while car 1 consumed 25

(35x30)+(15x25)=1425

30+25=55
