A car uses one litre of petrol for every 14km. If one of petrol cost N63.00, how far can the car go with N900.00 worth of petrol?
Answer Details
The car uses 1 litre of petrol for every 14km, so for N63.00 (the cost of one litre of petrol), the car can travel 14km. We can use this information to find how far the car can go with N900.00 worth of petrol.
To do this, we need to find how many litres of petrol N900.00 can buy. We can set up a proportion using the cost of petrol and the amount of petrol used per kilometre:
1 litre of petrol costs N63.00, so x litres cost N900.00
1 litre of petrol takes the car 14km, so x litres of petrol will take the car 14x km.
Putting these together, we get:
1/63 = x/900
x = (1/63) * 900
x = 14.29
So, N900.00 can buy 14.29 litres of petrol. To find how far the car can go, we multiply the amount of petrol by the distance travelled per litre:
14.29 litres of petrol * 14km per litre = 200.06 km
Therefore, the car can go approximately 200km with N900.00 worth of petrol. The closest option is 200km.
