While in Europe, if you drive 105 per day, how much money would you spend on gas in one week if gas costs 1.10 per liter and your car's gas mileage is 25.0?
Assume that 1 euro = 1.26 dollars.
Express your answer numerically in dollars.
You have to have units on the numbers to do any understandable figuring.
Thanks for catching that. Corrected version of the problem below:
While in Europe, if you drive 105 km per day, how much money would you spend on gas in one week if gas costs 1.10 euros per liter and your car's gas mileage is 25.0 mi/gal?
Assume that 1 euro = 1.26 dollars.
Express your answer numerically in dollars.
70.72
To calculate the amount of money spent on gas in one week, we need to determine the number of liters of gas used and then convert it to dollars.
First, let's calculate the number of liters of gas used in one week.
Given:
- Driving 105 miles per day.
- Car's gas mileage is 25.0 miles per liter.
To determine the number of liters used in one day, divide the distance driven by the car's gas mileage:
Liters used per day = Distance driven / Gas mileage
Liters used per day = 105 miles / 25.0 miles per liter
Liters used per day = 4.2 liters
Since we want to find the amount spent in one week, we multiply the liters used per day by the number of days in a week, which is 7:
Liters used in one week = Liters used per day * Number of days
Liters used in one week = 4.2 liters * 7 days
Liters used in one week = 29.4 liters
Now that we know the number of liters used in one week, we can calculate how much it would cost in euros.
Given:
- Gas costs 1.10 euros per liter.
Amount spent on gas in euros = Price per liter * Liters used in one week
Amount spent on gas in euros = 1.10 euros per liter * 29.4 liters
Amount spent on gas in euros = 32.34 euros
To convert this amount to dollars, we use the given exchange rate:
Amount spent on gas in dollars = Amount spent on gas in euros * Exchange rate
Amount spent on gas in dollars = 32.34 euros * 1.26 dollars per euro
Amount spent on gas in dollars = 40.78 dollars
Therefore, if you drive 105 miles per day in Europe with a gas mileage of 25.0 and gas costs 1.10 euros per liter, you would spend approximately 40.78 dollars on gas in one week.
