A van travels 500 km.Measure Value Distance per litre 10 km Fuel price per litre GBP 1.50
What is the fuel cost of the journey in pounds?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. GBP 75.00
- Step 1: Litres used = 500 / 10 = 50. Step 2. Cost = 50 x 1.50 = 75 pounds. Answer: GBP 75.00. Why not the others: GBP 750.00 multiplies the distance by the price without finding the litres used; GBP 51.50 adds the litres to the price, mixing units; GBP 33.33 divides the distance by (km per litre x price), which does not give a cost.
