Question

Joshua is planning a 1404-mile driving trip. His car gets an average of 36 mpg, and the cost of gas is about $3.72/gallon.

What is the approximate driving cost of the trip?

Answer 1

Multiply the cost of gas per gallon ($3.72) by the number of gallons he uses. You can find that by dividing 1404 by 36.

Answer 2

145.08 , sound right ?

Answer 3

That's exactly what I got. Don't forget to add the $ sign because $145.08 is how much his trip cost in dollars.
