Don is planning on driving his car to a business meeting. The distance to the meeting place is 1243 miles. If his car gets 30 mpg, and current cost of gas is 2.79 per gallon, how much will he have to pay for gas alone?

He will have to pay for $115.60

Step-by-step explanation:

1243 miles - distance

30 mpg - speed

1243 : 30 = 41.43 gallons

41.43 * 2.79 = $115.599 ≈ $115.60

115.60

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the mileage of the total distance of your trip and divide it by your miles per gallon to get the number of gallons of gas you will need on your trip. Then multiply that figure by the current price of gas, and the result is the cost of gas for your road trip.

1243/30=41.43333 ...

41.43333 ... * 2.79 = 115.599=115.60
