Question

Please help I will give you brainliest. I need this answered ASAP please!
But I will only give you brainliest if you provide an explanation please. Here is the question: The hybrid car

powered by the combined gas

engine and electric motor

shown has a fuel economy of

46 miles to the gallon in city

driving and 51 miles to the

gallon on the highway. Suppose

you drive the hybrid car about

10,000 miles in the city each

year. If you pay $1.75 for one

gallon of gas, how much do you

pay for gas in a year?

Answer 1

The car gets 46 miles per gallon in the city.

Divide total miles driven in th city by miles per gallon to find total number of gallons of gas used:

10,000 miles / 46 miles per gallon = 217.3913 gallons of gas used.

Now multiply gallons used by price per gallon:

217.3913 x $1.75 = $380.43 per year
