PLEASE HELP THE ASSIGNMENT IS DUE IN 34 MINUTES

A European car manufacturer reports that the fuel efficiency of the new MicroCar is 28.5 km/L highway and 22.0 km/L city. What are the equivalent fuel efficiency rates in miles per gal?
Answer: 67.27 mile / gal for the highway and 51.93 mile / gal

If gas costs $3.50 per gal, how much would it cost to drive 500 miles in the city in this car (assuming the fuel efficiency rating is accurate)?

If gas costs $3.50 per gal, it is expected driving 500 miles will cost at least $34 or thirty-four dollars.

How many gallons will it be necessary to drive 500 miles?

Assuming, in the city the fuel efficiency is 51.93 miles/gal, let's find out the total gallons that the car is expected to require for this distance. To do this, divide the total of miles into the rate or fuel efficiency provided:

Total of miles/fuel efficiency

  • 500 miles / 51.93 mile/gal
  • 9.62 gallons

This means the car will require 9.62 gallons.

How much will the gallons cost?

Based on the price per gallon ($3.50), let's calculate the money required:

  • 9.62 x 3.50 = $33.6 which can be rounded as $34

Based on this, it would cost $34 or thirty-four dollars to drive five hundred miles.
