    Given that the relationship between kilometers and fuel is proportional, let the distance in km be k and the fuel be f:

    thus:

    kα cf

    k=cf

    where k is the constant of proportionality. Thus:

    c=k/f

    Pamela drove 99 km and used 9 liters;

    ∴k=99/9=11 km/liter

    therefore distance covered is given by:

    k=11f

    hence the distance covered with 12 liters of fuel will be:

    k=11*12

    =132 km
