drive the hybrid car for a year? Please round all work to the thousandths place when working out solutions
with final answers rounded to the nearest hundredth.

Sagot :

The family plan "47.22" to spend on gas to  drive the hybrid car for a year.

Given:

high ways :  

cities: [tex]1000 \times \frac{3}{5}= 200 \times 3= 600\ miles\\\\[/tex]

To find:

total cost=?

Solution:

Calculating all the gallons:

[tex]\to \frac{400}{48}+ \frac{600}{55} \\\\\to \frac{22000+28800 }{2640} \\\\\to \frac{50800 }{2640} \\\\\to \$ 19.2424 \ gallons \\\\[/tex]

Calculating the total cost:  

[tex]\to \$19.2424 \times 2,454 \\\\\to \$47220.8496 \approx \$47.22[/tex]

Therefore, the final answer is "[tex]\$47.22[/tex]".
