A family is planning a three-week vacation for which they will drive across the country. They have a van that gets 12 miles per gallon, and they have a sedan that gets 36 miles per gallon. How much more will they pay for gasoline if they take the van? (Assume that the family will drive 2500 miles and that gas costs $2.50 a gallon. Round your answers to the nearest cent.)

The family will pay 34722 cents more if they take the van

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Van = 12 miles per gallon

Sedan = 36 miles per gallon

Distance = 2500 miles

Gas = $2.50 per gallon

First, we need to determine the number of gallons that'll be used by both vehicles

This  is done by dividing total distance by number of miles per gallon

Next, is to multiply this by the cost of gas per gallon;

This gives the total spendable amount on both vehicles

Next is to get the difference between these amounts

Multiply by 100 to convert to cents

(Approximated)

Hence;

The family will pay 34722 cents more if they take the van
