first, how much petrol can the money buy

[hollow pulsar]

like 45 dollars/1.899 dollars?

so thats $23.70/L

[cold egret]

uhh

[cold egret]

what did you find here

[hollow pulsar]

cost per litre im pretty sure

i have no idea what im doing thats why im asking for help or guidance

[cold egret]

okay lets say

one idk marble costs 1.899 dollars

how many can i buy with 45 dollars

[hollow pulsar]

rounded up, 24 marbles

its 23.70 actually

[cold egret]

yup so what if the marbles are litres of fuel

how much fuel do we have now

[hollow pulsar]

$23.70 per L

so do we use that and do 23.70 per 9.2 L like times or divide?

[cold egret]

not quite

so you said we would get 23.7 marbles

thats also 23.7 litres of gas

so with 45 dollars we get 23.7L of gas

[hollow pulsar]

ohhh

so is that it?

[cold egret]

well you need how far the car goes

[hollow pulsar]

wait no its not

yeah

[hollow pulsar]

and how do we calculate that

[cold egret]

so 9.2L goes 100km

and we have 23.7

[hollow pulsar]

so 23.7/9.2?

[cold egret]

yup

[hollow pulsar]

so thats 2.58

wait]

is that right

[cold egret]

but remember that

[hollow pulsar]

it doesnt sound right

[cold egret]

9.2L goes 100km

[hollow pulsar]

yeah

[cold egret]

so what should we do there

[hollow pulsar]

23.70 divide by 9.2 times 100?

[cold egret]

yes

[hollow pulsar]

which is 257.61km

[cold egret]

yup

there you go
