Sathish is going on a 2100-kilometer road trip with 2 friends, whom he will pick up 150 kilometers after he begins the trip and drop off when there are 150 kilometer remaining. the car consumes 6 liters of gas for every 100 kilometers, and gas costs $1.20 per liter.
sathish will pay for all of the gas when he is alone in the car, but he and his friends will split the cost evenly when they are together.
how much will sathish pay for gas?
ty if u < 3

Step-by-step explanation:

$64.80

Sathish has to pay for the gas consumption while travelling on a road trip.

Further explanation:

On a road trip, Sathish is alone in his car for first and the last such that the total distance that Satish travelled alone is,

So, the distance for which Sathish travels with his two friends is,

The cost of one litre gas consumption is .

Since it is given that the car consumes of gas for every then the gas consumption for a kilometer is obtained as,

Therefore, when Sathish is travelling alone in his car, the gas consumption is obtained as shown below.

Then the price for this journey will be owned by Sathish alone and is calculated as .

Now, for the remaining when Sathish is travelling with his two friends, the gas consumption is obtained as,

The total price of gas consumption during the journey travelled by Sathish with his friends will be .

Then the price of this journey will be divided among the three such that Sathish has to pay the amount calculated as .

Hence, the total amount that is to be paid by Sathish is,

Therefore, Sathish has to pay .
