Suppose that a new fuel-efficient european car travels an average of 26 kilometers on 1 liter of gas. if gas costs 1.50 euros per liter, how much will it cost to drive 300 kilometers in dollars?

Hello,

If you want to drive 300 kilometers, and you can travel 26 kilometers on 1 liter of gas, you need (300/26) ≈ 11.54 liters of gas to drive 300 kilometers. This will cost (11.54)(1.5) = 17.31 Euros. 

17.31 Euros is worth 20.68 dollars.

It will cost 20.68 dollars to drive 300 kilometers.

Hope this helps!
