In a fuel station the service costs $2.20 per vehicle and every liter of fuel costs $0.70. Assuming that you fill up 3 mini-vans and 2 trucks, what will be the total cost, if a mini-van's tank is 65 liters and a truck's tank is 120% bigger and they are all empty?
Answer/Solution
$347.70
Steps/Work
The service cost of 3 vans and 2 trucks is 5*2.20 $11.00
The fuel in 3 vans is 3*65 = 195 liters
The fuel in 2 trucks is 2*65*2.2 = 286 liters
The total fuel (vans + trucks) = 481 liters
The total fuel cost is 481*0.7 = $336.70
The total cost is $336.70 + $11.00 = $347.70
The answer is C.
The fuel in 3 vans is 3*65 = 195 liters
The fuel in 2 trucks is 2*65*2.2 = 286 liters
The total fuel (vans + trucks) = 481 liters
The total fuel cost is 481*0.7 = $336.70
The total cost is $336.70 + $11.00 = $347.70
The answer is C.
