Gasoline is about $2 per gallon. You use about gallons each day driving to and from work. How much should you budget for gasoline over the next month (about 20 workdays)?
You left off the number of gallons. I call it x
I assume x is for the round trip, although that is stated ambiguously.
then you use 20 x gallons/month
2 $/gallon * 20 x gallons/month = 40 x $/month
Thanks Damon, I have tried and tried that one but for some reason it just not look right.
To calculate how much you should budget for gasoline over the next month, you need to know the number of gallons you use each day driving to and from work, the price of gasoline per gallon, and the number of workdays in the month.
Given:
Price of gasoline per gallon: $2
Number of gallons used each day: X
Number of workdays in the month: 20
To find the total amount you should budget for gasoline over the next month, you can use the following formula:
Total budget for gasoline = Price per gallon × Number of gallons used each day × Number of workdays in the month
Substituting the given values into the formula, you get:
Total budget for gasoline = $2 × X gallons × 20 workdays
Simplifying further, the formula becomes:
Total budget for gasoline = $40X
Therefore, you should budget $40 times the number of gallons you use each day driving to and from work over the next month.
