A van travels 200 km.Measure Value Distance per litre 12.5 km Fuel price per litre GBP 1.50
What is the fuel cost of the journey in pounds?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. GBP 24.00
- Step 1: Litres used = 200 / 12.5 = 16. Step 2. Cost = 16 x 1.50 = 24 pounds. Answer: GBP 24.00. Why not the others: GBP 300.00 multiplies the distance by the price without finding the litres used; GBP 17.50 adds the litres to the price, mixing units; GBP 10.67 divides the distance by (km per litre x price), which does not give a cost.
