Math help! This is a real life situation! Gas Prices!!!?

Question

Ok, so I went to fueleconomy.gov to find out how much it would take to fill up one tank of gas based on the brand of car. Well I was looking at the Toyota Echo just for fun and on the page it had the annual cost thats how much I will spend in a year right? Well I thought so so I divided it ($1093) by 12 (months) and I got 91.08333333...repeat, then I divided that by 4 (weeks) to figure out how much I will spend per week, am I doing something wrong? Help!!!!

Heres the page:

Howd you get that? Do you do:

Annual Cost divided by 5 weeks (1 month) than what you get by 7(days)?

I think I figured out what was wrong, I tried dividing the annual cost by a year (12 months) but it was already set up as a year, so all I need to do was divide it by the average number of weeks in one month (5) and then divide it by one week (7 (days))

Thanks guys I am HORRIBLE in math, yet I got a B+ in algebra 2 last year, lol.

Answer 1

There are 52 weeks in a year, not 48 (4 x 12 months - as you may have noticed, most months have 30 or 31 days, so are longer than 4 weeks.) If you want to take an annual figure and convert it to a weekly figure, just divide it by 52. It should come out to about $21 and change.

Answer 2

Divide the $1093 by 52 weeks in a year...that should get you what you need...$21.02

Answer 3

Just divide it by 52 weeks. and last time I checked a month held 4 weeks???

Answer 4

$1093.00 divided by 52. (weeks in a year)

Answer 5
