Hannah filled her car at the gas station. She
bought 48.3 L, and her bill was $37.43.
What was the price of the gasoline, in cents
per litre?
cents per liter, so you divide the total cost by the total amount of gas bought. 48.3L / 37.43 = $0.77 (rounded from 0.77474120082), so it costs 77 cents per liter.
You can check this answer by multiplying 0.77 by 48.3L, and you will get something close to 37.43 (37.19). It's not exact as we had to round to the nearest cent.
To find the price of the gasoline in cents per litre, we need to divide the total cost by the number of litres purchased.
Total cost = $37.43
Number of litres = 48.3
Price per litre = Total cost / Number of litres
Price per litre = $37.43 / 48.3
To convert dollars to cents, we multiply by 100.
Price per litre = ($37.43 / 48.3) * 100
Using a calculator:
Price per litre = (0.773531304 * 100) = 77.35 cents per litre
Therefore, the price of the gasoline is 77.35 cents per litre.
To find the price of the gasoline in cents per litre, we need to divide the total cost by the total number of litres purchased.
Step 1: Convert the total cost from dollars to cents.
To convert from dollars to cents, multiply the total cost by 100. In this case, the total cost is $37.43, so we have:
37.43 x 100 = 3743 cents
Step 2: Divide the total cost in cents by the total number of litres.
Divide the total cost in cents (3743 cents) by the total number of litres (48.3 L):
3743 / 48.3 = 77.4 cents per litre
Therefore, the price of the gasoline is 77.4 cents per litre.
