At a gas station during a road trip, Gerard has $32.00 to spend on fuel and windshield washer fluid for his car. Fuel costs $2.75 per gallon, and each bottle of windshield washer fluid costs $3.00. The car's average fuel efficiency is 38 miles per gallon. If Gerard must fill his car with enough fuel to drive 250 miles, what is the maximum number of bottles of windshield washer fluid Gerard can buy? (Note: all prices include taxes.)​

Step-by-step explanation:

Total amount with Gerald = $32

Cost of fuel per gallon = $2.75

Cost of each bottle of windshield = $3

38 miles per gallon. If Gerard must fill his car with enough fuel to drive 250 miles,

Total gallons of fuel = 250 miles / 38 miles

= 6.5789473684210 gallons

Total cost of fuel = Total gallons of fuel × cost per gallon

= 6.5789473684210 × $2.75

= $18.1

Amount left for windshield = Total amount with Gerald - Total cost of fuel

= $32 - $18.1

= $13.9

what is the maximum number of bottles of windshield washer fluid Gerard can buy?

= Amount left for windshield / Cost of each bottle of windshield

= $13.9 / $3

= 4.6333333333333 bottles

Maximum number of bottles =

4 bottles

$650 per month plus utilities

step-by-step explanation:

just based on the info you gave, it would seem more cost effective to rent at $650 per month plus utilities.   if utilities are, in fact, $150 per month, your monthly living costs would be $800 as opposed to the other option of $825.
