fuel used = 8 - 6 = 2 gallons distance travelled (on 2 gallons) = 60 miles. distance that could be travelled on a full tank (8 gallons) = 60mi x 8gal/2gal = 240mi. Think about it: if you can go 60 miles on a quarter of a tank, then you can go four times as far on a full tank. In general, if you go a distance Dusing an amount A of fuel, then with an amount F of fuel you could go a distance M, where M = D x F/A This is a simple application of ratios.

A store buys 30 gallons of milk a cost of 1.58 per gallon The owner anticipates a 15 spoilage rate In order to achieve a 20 markup based on selling price what should be the selling price per gallon?

15% spoilage is 4.5 gal, so for 20% markup, price should be $2.23 per gal. But, if bought in gallon containers, you can't have only .5 gal of spoilage, therefore you have 5 gal of spoilage, so you need to charge $2.28 per gallon IMPROVED ANSWER: The correct answer is $2.23 per gal because 2.28 was not included in the multiple choice answer, see figures below: 30 gallons x 1.58 = 47.40 47.40 + .20(47.70)= 47.40 + 9.48 (total dollar markup) = $56.88 Total Selling Price 30 gallons x .15 = 4.5 gallons 30 gallons - 4.5 gallons = 25.50 gallons 56.88/25.50 gallons = $2.23 per gallon

How much would gas cost for 612 miles?

The answer to this question depends on the fuel efficiency of the vehicle and the cost of gas at the moment. Thus the answer is ever changing. But we can answer your question in terms of a formula. Lets say the cost of gas in dollars per gallon is "G". Lets say the fuel efficiency of your vehicle in terms of miles per gallon is "M" And lets say the distance driven in miles is "D" To determine the amount of gallons for a trip we simply divide D/M Then if we multiply this by the cost per gallon or G we get our formula: Cost for trip = (D/M) * G. So if gas (G) costs $4 /gallon and our cars fuel efficiency (M) is 20 miles per gallon and our distance (D) is 612 miles. We get (612 miles / 20 miles / gallon) * $4 /gallon or $122.40. Note how the miles and gallons cancel out, leaving just the $.
