Jamaica is considering buying either a car which goes 25 miles on 1 gallon of gas, or a truck that goes 10 miles on a gallon of gas. If gasoline costs $2.50 per gallon and Jamaica drives 1000 miles per month, how much less would it cost to drive the car each month than it would to drive the truck?

if he drives the car each month, he would spend $150 lesser than when he drives the truck.

Step-by-step explanation:

The car goes 25 miles on 1 gallon of gas. Jamaica drives 1000 miles per month, it means that the number of gallons of gas that he would use in a month is

1000/25 = 40 gallons of gas

If gasoline costs $2.50 per gallon and Jamaica chooses to buy a car, the cost of gas per month would be

2.5 × 40 = $100

The truck goes 10 miles on 1 gallon of gas. Jamaica drives 1000 miles per month, it means that the number of gallons of gas that he would use in a month is

1000/10 = 100 gallons of gas

If gasoline costs $2.50 per gallon and Jamaica chooses to buy a truck, the cost of gas per month would be

2.5 × 100 = $250

The difference between both costs is

250 - 100 = $150

the answer is d on edge
