Question

If you are going to travel 350 miles and the price of gasoline is 3.70 per galon. how much is the exact amount of money will you spend to get to your destination?

Answer 1

You're missing a variable!

What is the fuel efficiency of your car in miles per gallon? You need to divide (350)*(3.70) by the Fuel Efficiency

($3.70 per gallon)*(350 miles)/(FE miles/gallon)

Answer 2

You're missing information for a good answer, here. How many miles to the gallon does your car get? (A smart aleck can say your gasoline cost is zero if you walk or ride your bicycle.)

If you do know what your mpg is, to answer your question, divide 350 miles by your mpg to find how many gallons of gas you'll use, then multiply that answer by $3.70 per gallon.

Answer 3

Well, we would have to know how many miles your car gets per gallon. This would depend on your speed as well.

If you get x miles per gallon. then you will need 350/x gallons.
This will cost 350*3.70/ x = $1295/x

If you could get 25 miles to the gallon, the cost would be
1295/25 = $51.80

Answer 4

That all depends on the gas mileage of your car. If you have a hybrid that gets 40 miles to the gallon, then you'll be spending $32.38, whereas if you have a gas guzzling Hummer that gets 7 miles to the gallon, then you'll be spending $185.

Answer 5

Unless you know how many miles per gallon your care gets, there's no way to tell - not enough information.

Answer 6

You need to specify how many miles to the gallon your hypothetical vehicle gets.

Answer 7

There should be a factor for the fuel economy of the vehicle...
but if you find that it will be:

[$3.70 ($/gallon) * 350 (miles)]
