A van travels 300 km.Measure Value Distance per litre 12.5 km Fuel price per litre GBP 2.00
What is the fuel cost of the journey in pounds?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. GBP 48.00
- Step 1: Litres used = 300 / 12.5 = 24. Step 2. Cost = 24 x 2.00 = 48 pounds. Answer: GBP 48.00. Why not the others: GBP 600.00 multiplies the distance by the price without finding the litres used; GBP 26.00 adds the litres to the price, mixing units; GBP 12.00 divides the distance by (km per litre x price), which does not give a cost.
