Assignment #4

If I was "average" American based on the article I just read, the total of miles I would drive in one week would have to be eighty miles. I got that because if I were to say drive sixteen miles to work, five days a week, then sixteen miles x five days would be eighty miles in one week.

In an average week for me, if I drove sixteen miles to work from home, and then drove sixteen miles back home from work, and I work five days a week, and then I drove about one-hundred twenty miles on the weekend, then I would be driving two-hundred fifty miles a week because sixteen miles + sixteen miles is thirty-two miles to work and back home, and thirty-two miles x five days is one-hundred sixty miles in a working week, then one-hundred sixty miles on a working week + one-hundred twenty miles on the weekend equals two-hundred fifty miles in one whole week. In the equation 250/mpg x P = T, with my mpg being 21 miles. It would be 250/21 x $2.61 = T. Which is 250/21= 12. Then 12 x $2.61 = $31.32. So that is how much it will cost me on gas in one week. In one month, it will cost me $93.96 because if it costs me $31.32 in one week and there are 3 weeks in a month, than $31.32 x 3 =$93.96. The equation is T x 3 = P. T means total cost. P equals price in one month.
