The cost of fuel in C dollars is a function of the number of litres (L) of fuel consumed. The cost of fuel is $1.01 per litre. The amount of fuel consumed (L) is a function of the number of hundreds of km (K) travelled. A car consumes 12.4 L per 100 km. Determine the cost for a trip of 1550 km. a) $123.77 b) $19 412.20 c) $194.12 d) $1565.50

Step 1
- The car consumes 12.4 liters per 100 km. - So, for 1550 km, the total amount of fuel consumed is (1550/100) * 12.4 = 192.2 liters. Show more…

The cost of fuel in C dollars is a function of the number of litres (L) of fuel consumed. The cost of fuel is $1.01 per litre. The amount of fuel consumed (A) is a function of the number of hundreds of km (K) travelled. A car consumes 12.4 L per 100 km. Write the function C in terms of L. a) C (L) = 1.01 / L b) C (L) = 1.01L c) C (L) = L / 1.01 d) L (C) = 12.4C

Solve each of the problems algebraically. That is, set up an equation and solve it. Be sure to clearly label what the variable represents. Round your answer to the nearest tenth where necessary. A trucking company determines that the cost $C$ (in dollars per mile) of operating a truck is given by $C=0.003 s+0.21,$ where $s$ is the average speed of the truck. (a) Find the cost per mile if the truck averages 55 miles per hour. (b) Find the average speed that yields a cost per mile of $\$ 0.35$
