Complete Question :

Lea's car travels an average of 30 miles per gallon of gas. If she spent $20.70 on gas for 172.5 mile trip, what was the approximate cost of gas in dollars per gallon?

$3.6

Step-by-step explanation:

From the above question, we have the following information:

For

30 miles = 1 gallon of gas

We are also told she travelled,

$20.70 on gas for 172.5 miles

Step 1

Find how many gallons of gas was issued in the 172.5 miles

30 miles = 1 gallon of gas

172.5 miles = y

Cross multiply

30 × y = 172.5 miles × 1

y = 172.5 miles/30

y = 5.75 gallons

Therefore, for 172.5 miles she used 5.75 gallons of gas

Step 2

For step 2 we find the approximate cost of gas in dollars per gallon

$20.70 = 172.5 miles = 5.75 gallons of gas

Hence,

5.75 gallons of gas = $20.70

1 gallon of gas = $X

Cross Multiply

5.75 gallons × $X = $20.70 × 1 gallon

$X = $20.70 × 1 gallon/ 5.75 gallons

$X = $3.6

X = $3.6

Therefore, the approximate cost of gas in dollars per gallon = $3.6
