Over the weekend, Statton and Tyler drove to Montana to go hunting. Now they're preparing to go hunting. Tyler needs gas for his jeep, which gets 22 miles gallon for gas mileage. When he stops at the gas station, he already has 5 gallons of gas in his tank, he buys more gas for $1.25 per gallon. If Tyler spends $22 on gas, what is the total distance the boys could travel?

Answer:

497.2 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Great question, it is always good to ask away and get rid of any doubts that you may be having.

To begin solving this problem we first need to calculate how much gas Tyler has in his jeep after stopping at the gas station. We calculate this by multiplying the total bill by the price per gallon of gas, and then we add the amount that was left in the tank.

[tex](22/1.25)+5 = 22.6gallons[/tex]

After stopping at the gas station Tyler has 22.6 gallons of gas in his jeep. Since he gets 22 miles per gallon we multiply this by the amount of gallons in his car to calculate the distance they can travel.

[tex]\frac{22.miles}{gallon} * 22.6gallons = 497.2miles[/tex]

Tyler and his friends can travel 497.2 miles with the amount of gas they have.
