Suppose you drive an average of 15,000 miles per​ year, and your car gets 24 miles per gallon. Suppose gasoline costs ​$3.20 a gallon. a. How much money do you spend each year on​ gasoline? b. You plan to trade in your car for one that gets x more miles per gallon. Write an expression to represent the new yearly cost of gasoline. c. Write an expression to represent your total savings on gasoline per year. d. Suppose you can save ​$600 a year with the new car. How many miles per gallon does the new car​ get?

Sagot :

Answer:

a) $2000

b) 15000(3.20)/(24+x) = new gasoline cost (replace with variable of your choice)

c) 2000-(15000(3.20)/(24+x)) = money saved (replace with variable)

d) ~34.29 miles (34.28571 miles)

Step-by-step explanation:

a) [15000(3.20)]/24 = 2000

b) use the formula above, but the denominator is 24+x (or variable of your choice) because the amount of mpg is increased

c) take the formula from a, then subtract formula in b from it

d) take formula c, replace the variable (variable = money saved) with 600
