You left off the number of gallons. I call it x
I assume x is for the round trip, although that is stated ambiguously.
then you use 20 x gallons/month
2 $/gallon * 20 x gallons/month = 40 x $/month
I assume x is for the round trip, although that is stated ambiguously.
then you use 20 x gallons/month
2 $/gallon * 20 x gallons/month = 40 x $/month
Given:
Price of gasoline per gallon: $2
Number of gallons used each day: X
Number of workdays in the month: 20
To find the total amount you should budget for gasoline over the next month, you can use the following formula:
Total budget for gasoline = Price per gallon × Number of gallons used each day × Number of workdays in the month
Substituting the given values into the formula, you get:
Total budget for gasoline = $2 × X gallons × 20 workdays
Simplifying further, the formula becomes:
Total budget for gasoline = $40X
Therefore, you should budget $40 times the number of gallons you use each day driving to and from work over the next month.
