Gasoline sells for 1.3 euros per liter. What is the price in US dollars per gallon? (recall that 1 gal = 3.785 L) British pound is 1.212 to 0.8251 USD

The price of gasoline in Paris is $6.00/gallon

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find the price of gas in dollars per gallon for gasoline in Paris.

Step 1

We are told in the question that: the average price of gasoline in Paris, France, is 1.91 euros per liter.

Also we are told that, the exchange rate is 1.203 euros for one dollar

We convert the Euros to dollars

If, 1.203 euros = 1 dollar

1.91 euros = x dollars

We Cross Multiply

1.203 euros × x dollars = 1.91 euros × 1 dollar

x dollars = 1.91 euros × 1 dollar/ 1.203 euros

x dollars = 1.5876974231 dollars

Therefore, 1.203 euros = Approximately 1.59 dollars.

Hence, the price of gasoline in Paris, France is 1.59 dollars per liter.

Step 2

We convert the from liter to gallon

In the question, we are told that:

If there are 3.785 liters in one gallon

Therefore, if

1 liter of gasoline = 1.59 dollars

3.785 liters of gasoline =

Cross Multiply

= 3.785 liters × 1.59
