What will be the cost of gasoline for a 4,700-mile automobile trip if the car gets 41 miles per gallon, and the average price of gas is $2.79 per gallon?

Find the gallons needed by dividing total miles by miles per gallon:

4700/41 = 114.634 gallons

Multiply the gallons needed by price per gallon:

114.634 x 2.79 = $319.83 Total

Round the answer as needed.

If gallons were rounded to 115 gallons total cost would be $320.85
