respond to this : his week I am going to be traveling about 120 miles, one way, 240 miles round trip to pick up a new to me truck. A friend will be taking me there and I told her that I would cover all of her gas expenses for the trip. For me to figure out how to budget for this road trip, I had to figure out what her cars miles per gallon are, the distances driven, and then divide the distance by the miles per gallon to find the total gallons of gas needed. Then I multiply the gallons needed by the current gas price to find out an estimate of how much I would be spending in fuel for her to take me. Miles driven: 120 + 120 = 240 total miles driven. Her cars mile per gallon ratio is roughly 30 miles per 1 gallon on highway which is the majority of where we will be driving. C represents the variable for the total cost for gas needed to budget. My equation looked like this: 240/30 X $3.29 = C C = $26.32

Miles driven: 120 + 120 = 240 total miles driven.
Her cars mile per gallon ratio is roughly 30 miles per 1 gallon on highway which is the majority of where we will be driving.
C represents the variable for the total cost for gas needed to budget.
My equation looked like this:
240/30 X $3.29 = C
C = $26.32
