Howard Moyer · Answer 1

Britta paid more per kilometer driven

Explanation:

1) Britta:

Distance traveled: 1,250 Km Gasoline used: 209 liter Gasoline price: 1.23 euros / liter

Cost per km = total cost of gasoline / distance traveled

Cost per km = gasoline used * gasoline price / distance traveled

Cost per km = 209 liter * 1.14 (euro / liter) / 1,250 km = 0.19 euro / km

2) Pierce:

Distance traveled: 1,405 km Gasoline used: 175 liter Gasoline price = 1.23 euros / liter

Cost per km = 175 liter * 1.23 (euro / liter) / 1,405 km = 0.15 euro / km

3) Comparison:

0.19 > 0.15 ⇒ Britta paid more per kilometer driven
